Make Every Single Task, Movement & Activity You Do Each Day A Whole Lot Easier
Easily add strength to the exact muscles that play the biggest role in increasing your ability to do your day-to-day activities & movements with ease—without having to get down on the floor!
This program is focused on the core movements you use everyday in things like getting out of your chair, carrying your groceries from your car, picking items up from the floor & going for walks. You'll gently improve the strength of the muscles you use the most each day—improving your ability to lift, bend over, squat, carry, push & pull while also improve your core strength & balance.
It's the full package for aging adults to increase functional strength—and unlock a higher quality of life where everything just feels easier & less painful.
"Improve Your Functional Strength"
7 days of classes. No floor exercises—seated, standing & chair-assisted only.
Get Up Off The Floor Easier & Look More Natural Doing It Too—Without Floor Exercises
There are 5 key components involved in safely & smoothly getting up from the floor. Each day focuses on improving 1 of the 5 specific components so that by the end of the course your “floor-to-standing muscles” will have the strength, mobility & balance to make it easier to stand up.
- Day 1: Upper body strength—improves ability to push yourself upright
- Day 2: Core strength—stabilizes your body throughout the movement
- Day 3: Lower body mobility—improves ability to position feet, ankles & legs where they need to be for optimal support & strength
- Day 4: Balance training—keeps you stable as your body shifts between positions
- Day 5: Lower body strength—powers you up onto your feet
You’ll also get a step-by-step demonstration that teaches you the precise series of movements & proper techniques for safely getting up off the floor. You’ll learn how to push yourself up, where to position your arms & legs, and how to stabilize your body as you stand.
Note: NONE of the exercises in this class are performed from the floor. Exercises are performed primarily from a standing position with the aid of a chair. Only at the end of this program, if you’re ready to try the floor-to-standing movement, will you be given the option to practice getting up from the floor.
"Improved Floor To Standing Strengthening Program"
5 days of classes. No floor exercises—seated, standing & chair-assisted only.
Improves your floor-to-stand WITHOUT floor exercises!
Improves All Aspects Of Physical Health At 60+ By Bringing Together Strengthening, Heart Health & Active Recovery
Staying fit & healthy as we age depends on being active. Any sort of activity makes a difference—the important part is to just do something. But if you want your body to reach its true potential this class will help you get there. It’s been thoughtfully designed to take you through exactly how you should be exercising to improve all aspects of your physical health.
With 3 days of strength training you will get stronger & build the muscle you need to do your daily activities easier. You’ll also have 1 heart health day to improve your cardiovascular system and lungs. Then you’ll have an active recovery day that keeps you progressing without pushing yourself so you can repeat the entire program week after week.
This is a gentle & easy program designed to get all aspects of your body to optimal health.
"Strong At 60: Full Body Fitness For Energy & Health"
5 days of classes. Minimal equipment.
Unlock Stiff Joints, Reduce Inflammation & Free Your Body To Move Better—In Just 15 Minutes A Day
If you have joint pain the worst thing you can do is give in to the aches & pains. This only allows them to stiffen up more, making your pain worse & making it harder and harder to move easily. Keeping them flexible & strong doesn’t require intense exercises. In fact, you don’t even need to get out of your chair to take away the pain & regain joint mobility.
Each day, this class takes you through a series of seated stretching & strengthening exercises that increases your range of motion, making your joints feel & function better. When your muscles, ligaments & tendons shorten it restricts your joints & your ability to use them. These exercises prevent this from happening, allowing you to continue to use your joints properly & stay free from pain.
"Improved Joint Health From A Chair"
7 days of classes. 100% seated—no floor exercises.
