Chair Pilates for Seniors to build Core Strength in a Safe and Gentle Way

Join me for a gentle chair pilates routine for Seniors age 60+ I've created this senior workout to deliver the benefits of Pilates to those who are unable to do exercises lying down or standing. All the exercises are gentle, clearly explained and are for building core strength and control through deep breathing techniques. We will also focus on proprioception to help build more awareness of the body in order to strengthen the spinal muscles and improve balance if, and when you are standing. What I have done is put together some exercises for the general aches & pains in the joints and spine that come with age. As well as some other exercises to help combat loss of strength, coordination and balance that also comes with age, but -and this is important- It doesn't have to be that way! Doing these exercises regularly will improve all these things so I am recommending you build up to doing this workout at least twice a week. Take your time and do what you can, if anything is too challenging for you right now, don't worry, just rest and come back and try again when you feel ready.
