Benefits of Seated Exercise for Health and Wellbeing 💪❤️

Seated exercise is a brilliant way to stay active when standing exercises aren't suitable for you. These chair-based movements are specifically designed to help Kiwis maintain and improve their physical wellbeing regardless of mobility challenges.

Regular participation in seated exercise can provide numerous benefits:

• Improved strength: Builds muscle tone in arms, legs and core even without standing
• Better balance: Develops your stability which helps prevent falls in daily activities
• Enhanced coordination: Improves your body awareness and movement control
• Joint mobility: Keeps joints flexible and can help manage arthritis symptoms
• Cardiovascular health: Provides gentle heart-healthy activity appropriate for recovery
• Mental wellbeing: Boosts mood and provides social connection in a supportive environment

This class is perfect for those easing back into exercise after illness or injury, managing chronic conditions, or simply preferring the security of seated movements. You'll join a supportive community of people at similar activity levels while working at your own pace.

No special equipment or previous experience is required - just wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle. Each session includes a proper warm-up and cool-down to ensure safety, with all exercises modified to suit individual needs.
