Description
Gentle Strength and Balance is an enjoyable and social gentle fitness program suitable if you are new to fitness, or living with a chronic condition, or are pre or post operative. A chair is used to create a comfortable and safe environment while you work on your confidence and mobility.
Each class will begin with a gentle warmup and introduces a variety of strengthening and range of motion exercises that use optional hand weights, bands, balls and other equipment, and you will learn how to do each exercise safely with correct form. Hand grip strength will be included, and light stretching will end each class. Optional standing balance work holding onto the chair will be offered.Modifications of exercises are provided to take special consideration of any injuries and limitations you may have. Do as much or as little as is comfortable for you that day.
A Get Active Questionnaire must be completed by all participants on the first day of the program
Participants needing assistance to work out are required to bring their own caregiver.
