Free Online Fitness Session
for older adults
Jordan’s session 3 March 2021
Led by Jordan, this session includes a full body workout for over 60s who are looking to build general fitness.
In today’s 30-minute session, you’ll be working through five exercises. These work different elements of fitness: upper and lower body strength, cardiovascular fitness, core stability and balance. Combining these helps to build general fitness, preparing the body for anything life throws at it. Performing this session regularly will not only make you stronger; it will also improve your lower back strength, cardiovascular conditioning, coordination and balance.
By the end of the session, you’ll definitely be ready for a rest. You’ll have the chance to cool down safely with a relaxing stretch.
We’d love to have your comments on this workout for over 60s. Don’t forget to subscribe to the Fit For Good YouTube Channel! Please do consider donating to Fit For Good to help us continue to provide FREE sessions.
What is Fit For Good?
Research supports the fact that regular exercise is vital to good health and helps control the ageing process. Fit For Good sessions are specifically designed to help men and women over 60 take more control over how they age, and enjoy becoming more mobile, stable and socially active.
Although we all understand that exercise is essential for living well into old age, it’s hard to find a way to make it part of daily life. Fit For Good sessions aim to help you enjoy healthier, happier ageing. Our professional trainers guide you. During each workout, you gain strength, balance, flexibility and stamina. You work at your own pace and your own ability – although it’s always good to push yourself just slightly to gain maximum benefit.

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
