Free Online Fitness Session

for older adults

Jordan’s session 23 December 2020

Focusing on cardiovascular conditioning for over 60s, this 30-minute session is led by Jordan.

The session is simple – you’ll be doing nothing but cardio. In a typical FIT FOR GOOD online session, we combine a number of fitness modalities. This ensures that you get a well-rounded workout and, while we believe that this is the best way to build general physical preparedness, sometimes it’s important to focus on and improve one area of your fitness.

Cardiovascular conditioning is that area of fitness in this workout. Over the course of 12 minutes, you’ll be performing cardio intervals. This means the intensity increases as the work time decreases and the rest time increases. There is nothing technical in the session so you can just focus on moving your body and reaping the rewards afterwards. Cardiovascular conditioning is beneficial for heart health, can lower high blood pressure, and give you that feeling of “being fit”.

After the hard work is done you’ll have a nice stretch to cool down.

We’d love to have your comments on focusing on cardiovascular conditioning for over 60s. Don’t forget to subscribe to the FIT FOR GOOD YouTube Channel! Please do consider donating to FIT FOR GOOD so that we can carry on providing FREE sessions.

What is FIT FOR GOOD?

Research supports the fact that regular exercise is vital to good health and helps control the ageing process. FIT FOR GOOD is a programme specifically designed to help men and women over 60, of all abilities, take more control over how they age and enjoy becoming more mobile, more stable and more socially active.

Although we all understand that exercise is essential for living well into old age, it’s hard to find a way to make it part of daily life. FIT FOR GOOD sessions aim to help you enjoy healthier, happier ageing. Our professional trainers guide you. You gain strength, balance, flexibility and stamina during each workout. You work at your own pace and your own ability – although it’s always good to push yourself just slightly to gain maximum benefit.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR SESSION

Fit For Good online sessions are a convenient, enjoyable way of improving your fitness and helping to increase your strength, stability and balance.

To make the most of each session:

  • Position your computer, laptop, iPad or phone on a stable surface near where you will be working. If you can get YouTube on your television, that's another option
  • Check the floor where you are exercising is not slippery and that there is nothing you could trip over
  • Wear loose clothing and comfortable trainers or shoes
  • Keep a glass or bottle of water to hand to ensure you stay hydrated
  • Have a chair or other stable object to hold onto if necessary
  • Place your weights - whether they are actual dumbbells, cans of beans, bottles of water or whatever works for you - where you can easily reach them, but won't trip over them
  • Exercise within your comfort zone, pausing the video whenever you need to rest or hydrate
  • Play background music if it helps you relax
