Move It or Lose It: Gentle chair-based exercise
Tutor: Julie, Move It or Lose It instructor
Move It or Lose It is a gentle exercise programme designed by award-winning exercise instructor Julie Robinson to help people keep active in later life. Julie joins us at the Virtual Village Hall to host a Move It or Lose It chair-based exercise session to music.
The 10-minute seated class is designed to boost circulation, increase mobility and strengthen muscles. To take part in the session, you will need a sturdy chair (not an armchair). If you have a resistance band and soft pipe insulation at home, you can also use these in the class. You will be still be able to take part in the class without these items.
Preparation
Make sure you have plenty of space, clear any potential hazards, are wearing comfortable clothes and shoes/trainers. Use a sturdy, upright chair (not an armchair).
