Free Online Fitness Session

for older adults

Jordan’s session 30 September 2020

Led by Jordan, this is the perfect workout for over 60s who are looking to improve their general fitness.

During the 35-minute session, you’ll be working through a full body circuit that consists of five different exercises. Over the course of three rounds, you’ll perform cardiovascular movements to improve your heart health, speed and stamina. There are also strength exercises to maintain bone mineral density and protect joints. In addition, balance work will help fall prevention while a functional movement improves daily movement patterns.

The perfect workout for over 60s, it results in improved general fitness. By working on all these different elements you’re strengthening the body as a whole and making it more resilient to face the challenges of everyday life.

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
