Benefits of Seated Exercise for Seniors 🪑 👵 👴

Sit Fit is a specially designed seated workout that allows wheelchair users and those with mobility challenges to participate alongside more able-bodied participants. This inclusive approach ensures everyone can enjoy the benefits of regular exercise in a supportive community setting.

Our gentle, low-impact movements to music provide an efficient full-body workout while minimizing strain on joints. The class incorporates:

• Strength exercises to maintain muscle mass and bone density
• Balance activities to help prevent falls and improve stability
• Stretching routines to enhance flexibility and range of motion
• Light cardiovascular movements to improve heart health and circulation

Regular participation in seated exercise classes like Sit Fit can help maintain independence, improve mood, enhance cognitive function, and provide valuable social connection. The supportive group environment makes exercise enjoyable rather than a chore.

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply looking for a gentler exercise option, our Kiwi Senior Sit Fit class offers a welcoming space to move your body at a pace that suits you.
