Balance and Chair Exercises for Seniors

This interesting and informative course is designed to help the fitness leader instruct all participants, with an emphasis on seniors, through a safe and effective chair fitness program. As we age we go through many changes, both physiological and psychological. You will learn how aging affects the heart, lungs, muscles and other soft tissue and how this affects a person’s flexibility, strength and metabolism, as well as a ton of warm-up, cardio and strengthening exercises and stretches that you can do on, behind or around a chair.

Testimonials:

"This was a fantastic review of working with older adults and creating exercise routines to help support them in many aspects of their lives! I've worked as a rehabilitation assistant, specifically with stroke survivors for over 5 years, so I know how important exercise is for them to be able to remain independent and prevent future health issues! Loved the layout of this course!" - Gineen Nicholls

"This has been an excellent course. I have had the privilege of teaching to this demographic for several years. The education and examples provided will be put into immediate use within not just this class but all of my different classes." - Wanda H.
