Jordan’s session 14 October 2020

This 30-minute session includes a superset fitness workout. It is perfect for over 60s who are looking to improve overall fitness.

Jordan takes you through a series of supersets. A superset fitness workout is when one exercise is paired with another and performed in quick succession with minimal rest in between.

Supersets are a great way to get a lot of work done in a short space of time. Movements include cardiovascular work for heart health and strength work to improve bone mineral density. Functional movements make daily tasks easier while balance work is aimed at fall prevention. Combining all of these modalities will improve your general physical preparedness (GPP). This superset fitness workout prepares you for the infinite number of physical challenges that life throws at you.

The session finishes with a relaxing stretch.

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
