We were talking about our exercise routines and I mentioned seeing exercise dvd's that you sit to do.
The ladies decided that they would like to have an "exercise night". The next day I went Amazon and ordered a dvd.
So, on Thursdays at 7pm we are meeting in the church social hall to exercise to "Chair Aerobics".
Tonight was our first exercise night and I gotta say that it is quite a workout. It was also a lot of fun! We laughed and laughed at ourselves.Some of the ladies couldn't do everything and had to modify certain moves or follow the "easy demonstration lady". As I told everyone, any movement is better than none at all.
Hopefully, they will all come back next Thursday. I'll let you know!
I have one of those types of videos and they are a workout as you keep going! I haven't done mine for a while; maybe it's time to dig it out! Being obese is a viscious cycle, but this type of exercise was a good start for me!
ReplyDeletemy local fitness center has a class for seniors that is all done in a chair too - they seem to love it as there is always a large group there.
