The chair exercises in this stretching and strengthening workout are low-impact movements performed while seated, designed to improve flexibility, strength and cardiovascular health. We begin with an invigorating head-to-toe warm-up that includes dynamic and static exercises to stretch the muscles and connective tissue. The class progresses with a mild series of stretching and strengthening movements integrated with your breath. Midway, we’ll pause for a three-minute guided relaxation. This event is part of a 12-week series running through the end of the year.

Enjoy exercising in a relaxed, comfortable, non-judgmental atmosphere! Classes are taught by American Council on Exercise (ACE) Group Fitness Instructor Mitchell G. Menik, who is also an ACE Senior Fitness Specialist and an ACE Orthopedic Exercise Specialist. Please consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.
