Easy Seated Exercise to Music with Debbie

Easy Seated Exercise to Music is a gentle way to keep fit, improve strength and balance as well and enjoy social activity with your friends.

The session starts with a gentle warm-up and breath work to some lovely relaxing music, after this, we have the mobility section which helps to mobilise joints and warm up muscles before the pulse raiser section, (don’t worry, you can go at your own pace whether that is taking it slow at first or if you are ready at a faster rate.)

Following the Pulse raiser section, we have the muscle strengthening section which could be with a resistance band, Pilates ball or similar.

We use a variety of props in our sessions which are good fun and help to make the session more enjoyable.

 A cool-down follows this, with stretches that can improve flexibility, and all this to some of your favourite tunes.

Benefits of regular seated exercise

Among the recognized benefits of doing regular aerobic exercise seated or standing are:

• Strengthening the muscles involved in respiration, to facilitate the flow of air in and out of the lungs.

• Strengthening and enlarging the heart muscle, to improve its pumping efficiency and reduce the resting heart rate, known as aerobic conditioning.

• Strengthening muscles throughout the body

• Improving circulation efficiency and reducing blood pressure

• Increasing the total number of red blood cells in the body, facilitating transport of oxygen

• Improved mental health, including reducing stress and lowering the incidence of depression

• Reducing the risk for diabetes
