Ages 50 and up
Strong, and steady.
Low-impact strength, balance and mobility for adults over fifty, with a chair-assisted version of every movement. You choose the version that suits your body that day and can change whenever you need.
What it is
The honest version.
- A chair-assisted option for every single exercise
- Standing and chair-assisted versions taught side by side
- You choose the version for your body that day
What the class is
Low impact, not low effort.
Warm-up, mobility, strength and balance form the session. The strength work uses controlled resistance, and the footwork comes from martial arts: deliberate stance and step patterns with light pad work. Every movement has a standing version and a chair-assisted version, and the coach explains both.
- Warm-up, mobility, strength and balance blocks in every class
- Standing and chair-assisted versions of every movement
- Controlled strength, balance and mobility work
- Light pad work and movement patterns
- Change versions whenever you need
Two ways to do everything
Every exercise has two versions.
One version is seated or chair-supported: strength, mobility and light striking drills done from the chair. The other is standing — balance and footwork patterns, range of motion and controlled pad work. You choose the version that suits your body that day, and you can change your mind halfway through without anyone making a thing of it.
- A chair-assisted variation for every single exercise
- Seated: strength, mobility and light striking drills
- Standing: balance patterns, range of motion, controlled pad work
- Switch between the two whenever you need to
- Tell the coach when a movement needs another version
