CHAIR-BASED FITNESS

Proposed budget

GBP 4,380

Description

Our Chair-based Exercise classes started at Wordsworth Health Centre in September 2017. Due to its popularity we are applying for funds to continue improving the health and wellbeing of local adults by introducing an additional class.

Classes are tailored to improve strength, mobility and endurance. If you’re recovering from injuries you may find this a safe way into fitness. Sessions are a blend of resistance training, mobility and cardiovascular work. For those that prefer to take things a little slower we even provide Qigong exercises to: develop breathing techniques, improve internal strength and focus.

When you turn up all you have to do is wear comfortable clothing, maybe have a towel and bring water!

We look forward to seeing you and receiving your votes!

This is an amazing initiative. Saundra has consistently ran chair based exercises in Newham and people who attend have always found it so engaging and beneficial to their health. They just keep coming! I have seen her in action and this is something you will not want to miss!

@Patricia Smith Thank you! It's great that people understand the necessity of exercise, with many future-proofing and making an investment in their physical/mental health. One of the classes has an attendance of 60 people most weeks :-o Fitness is always about progression and variety, in order to develop. Attendees can visit a number of classes aside from Chair-based Fitness, come to Kick Boxing Aerobics and Tai Chi. Test your strength, conditioning, flexibility and coordination. You'll be put through your paces but also improve as a result. Fingers crossed for a successful PPP outcome :-)
