Free Online Fitness Session

for older adults

Mira’s seated session 16 July 2020

Led by Mira, this is a 50-minute all seated, strength-based workout for full-body toning up. It is perfect if you are dealing with injury, limited mobility or balance issues.

The session starts with a warm-up for gentle pulse-raising which progresses into a purely strength-based workout for upper/lower body and core toning up. The main workout consists of 2 rounds of 8 exercises selected for their simplicity and effectiveness to tone up your entire body. The session ends with a short, efficient stretching routine for tension relief.

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

WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR PHOTOS
