About: Chair-bound exercises are ideal for people with lower body injuries or disabilities, those with weight problems or diabetes, and for people looking to reduce their risk of falling. This is an excellent routine for any fitness level or age; from those who are wishing to work out while on the job to those who are injured or trying to stay active with a health condition such as fibromyalgia or arthritis. This low impact workout is easy on the joints but still very effective for toning. Cardiovascular, strength training, and flexibility chair exercises can help improve strength, posture, and reduce back pain. They’re also a great way to squeeze in a workout while you’re watching TV!

The beginner exercise class will begin with a warm-up session and then focus on the upper body or lower body, and then end with a cool-down. The classes will alternate between upper body and lower body each week. Each session will include a variety of different exercises with an individualized progression of difficulty throughout the class. Exercises will include a chair with dumbbells and resistance bands. Handouts will also be given to encourage exercise throughout daily life. For more information: call the center at 876-3383 ex. 515.
