Free Online Fitness Session

for older adults

Jordan’s session 10 June 2020

Led by Jordan, this 50-minute workout is aimed at improving your upper and lower body strength, with a focus on the arms, shoulders, back, hips and legs. Strength training helps to build strength and muscle mass, which in turns helps to preserve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Your aim is to move slowly throughout today’s session to show that you can control your muscles under tension, which will further help towards the strength-building process.

It’s simple: the first workout will focus on the upper body and the second workout will focus on the lower body. Furthermore, within these strength movements, you’ll find that you’ll also be working on improving your postural muscles for better alignment, balance for fall prevention and functional movement patterns to make everyday tasks easier.

We’d love to have your comments on the session and please don’t forget to subscribe to the FIT FOR GOOD YouTube Channel!

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR SESSION

Fit For Good online sessions are a convenient, enjoyable way of improving your fitness and helping to increase your strength, stability and balance.

To make the most of each session:

  • Position your computer, laptop, iPad or phone on a stable surface near where you will be working. If you can get YouTube on your television, that's another option
  • Check the floor where you are exercising is not slippery and that there is nothing you could trip over
  • Wear loose clothing and comfortable trainers or shoes
  • Keep a glass or bottle of water to hand to ensure you stay hydrated
  • Have a chair or other stable object to hold onto if necessary
  • Place your weights - whether they are actual dumbbells, cans of beans, bottles of water or whatever works for you - where you can easily reach them, but won't trip over them
  • Exercise within your comfort zone, pausing the video whenever you need to rest or hydrate
  • Play background music if it helps you relax
