Stay stronger for longer with this seated fitness course that will improve your mobility and strength for confidence in everyday activities. You will be guided through a series of stretch and flow routines to improve mobility seated to inspiring music. You will practice upper body strength exercises with light hand weights and the resistance band and core seated strength exercises. Working with resistance is optional. The session will conclude with balance exercises holding the chair for stability if you are able to. This is an inclusive course for all and standing at the end of the session with the aid of the chair is optional. I will also provide seated options.

Learning Goals:

• Perform 2 stretch and flow seated routines to demonstrate improved mobility of the neck, spine, hips, knees and ankles.
• Perform at least 4 strength exercises with the light hand weights and the resistance band including the bicep curl, tricep extension, chest press and leg press.
• Perform 3-4 seated core strength exercises.
• Self-evaluate the impact of exercise on wellbeing.

Who is this course for: This session will be fun and informal to inspiring popular chart music throughout the decades. The class will start with a warm up, followed by standing low impact dance routines that can be performed seated if necessary.

A balance exercise routine using a chair as a barre to prevent falling and aid stability will be explored each week. A cool down and stretch to improve range of movement will conclude the class.
