An 8-minute standing, low-impact routine for seniors that trains balance and joint mobility, with a sturdy chair or countertop for support.
A continuous standing routine with simple balance moves, gentle mobility work for hips, knees, ankles and spine, and low-impact cardio to raise the heart rate. It trains skills used for walking, stairs, turning and getting up from a chair, with no floor work, no jumping and no equipment. It runs about 9 minutes.
Who Is It For?
Older adults and beginners who want to improve balance and joint mobility safely at home with a chair or counter nearby.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal if you cannot stand for several minutes or want a strength or high-intensity session: this is a gentle balance routine.
Key Benefits
Improves balance, coordination and joint mobility with gentle cardio, helping everyday moves like walking and rising from a chair feel easier.
Things to Keep in Mind
Keep a sturdy chair or wall within reach, go smaller if unsteady and stop if dizzy or in pain; check with your doctor if you have balance problems.
