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.
