Free Online Fitness Session

for older adults

Jordan’s session 13 January 2021

Perfect for getting back into fitness after a short break, this 30-minute session is ideal for over 60s. For various reasons, we all take breaks from exercise. It might be because we’re too busy in our day-to-day lives or because we’ve earned some much needed time off over Christmas. What we often find is that it can be quite challenging getting back into exercise and establishing a routine again.

Led by Jordan, this session is designed to get you over that first hurdle and get you back into good habits. We’ve kept things simple. You’ll be working the whole body by performing straightforward yet fundamental and effective movements in a simple and easy-to-follow format. You’ll start off slowly and gradually increase the intensity throughout the session. Nothing is too complex and sometimes it doesn’t need to be. Give your body that much-needed movement it’s missed and afterwards you’ll be reaping the rewards.

We’d love to have your comments on fitness after a short break. Don’t forget to subscribe to the FIT FOR GOOD YouTube Channel! Please do consider donating to FIT FOR GOOD so that we can carry on providing 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 is a programme specifically designed to help men and women over 60, of all abilities, take more control over how they age and enjoy becoming more mobile, more stable and more 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. You gain strength, balance, flexibility and stamina during each workout. 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

WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR PHOTOS
