 Chair Based Exercise
Our Chair-Based Exercise classes aim to improve flexibility and fitness
for people who prefer to remain seated, either on a chair or in a wheelchair.
The classes are gentle and are particularly suitable for people who are
less able. They offer the opportunity to exercise to music and to improve
your limb mobility, muscle strength, co-ordination, balance and range
of movement.
The classes are set to lively music and use simple equipment such as
balls, bands and hoops.
What is the class like?
The class starts with a gentle warm up, followed by exercises that work
all parts of the body in turn, and you will be encouraged to work at your
own pace and rest if you need to. Even your hands and feet will get a
work out! The class lasts 45 minutes.
At the end of the class you will cool down and then we hope that you
will stay for a cup of coffee or tea and a chat.
What should I bring to class and what should I wear?
You do not need to bring anything with you, and you do not have
to wear special clothes or shoes, although high heels would not be suitable.
Ladies can wear skirts or trousers. We provide any equipment that is used
in the class.
If you use a wheel-chair you are very welcome to join this class, and
the venue is wheel-chair accessible. Carers are welcome – but please
join in!
One of the class members provides the tea and coffee after class and
will ask you for a small donation towards the cost. |
