Exercise is an important part of the health and wellness of seniors
It helps increase your metabolism, energy levels, and alertness Research shows that those suffering from chronic illness benefit from exercise even if it is done while sitting in a chair. Chair exercises are great for older adults, those with disabilities, poor balance, or anyone who has trouble standing or getting on the floor to do exercises They are always gentle on the body and generally safe for most people to do. It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor before beginning a new exercise program, but you are not likely to injure yourself doing any of these exercises Bring a 5 lb dumbbell weight with you to the first class Be sure to wear loose clothing and comfortable, supportive shoes No cost.
