Free Online Fitness Session

for older adults

Improve your posture balance and core 30 June 2021

Led by Jordan, this is the perfect session if you’re looking to improve your balance, posture and core. It’s all about strengthening parts of the body that are commonly weaker areas for many older adults.

During the 30-minute session, you’ll work through a small circuit comprising three exercises:

  • A weighted exercise designed to strengthen muscles in your back that will help improve your posture,
  • A single-legged exercise to improve your balance,
  • A seated exercise that will strengthen and stabilise your core muscles.

As a result, you’ll feel more upright and stable by the end of the session. Your spine will also be better protected from the core work. However, don’t be ready to rest once the circuit is over. You’ll have a cardio finisher to contend with which will ensure that you will feel like you’ve worked hard by the time the session is finished.

We’d love to have your comments on this workout that aims to improve your balance, posture and core. Don’t forget to subscribe to the Fit For Good YouTube Channel! If you’ve enjoyed this session, 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
