Free Online Fitness Session
for older adults
Jordan’s session 17 February 2021
This 30-minute session of cardiovascular conditioning for seniors will also help to strengthen your core.
Jordan will first lead you through a warm up. You’ll then continue through eight different aerobic movements, where you’ll be working at an intensity that suits you. The benefits of cardiovascular conditioning are endless. Working on your cardio regularly will help to increase exercise tolerance, reduce blood pressure and aid fat loss. The second part of the workout will allow you to focus solely on strengthening your core, where you will alternate between two exercises – a static hold and a dynamic movement. The goal here is to think about your positioning and squeezing those stomach muscles tight which, when done correctly, will improve core stability and protect the spine.
After the hard work is complete you’ll be rewarded with a nice stretch to cool down.

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
