When one hears the word EXERCISE, normally the word CHAIR is not used except in reference to what someone looks forward to using after exercise is done.  Surprisingly, those two words are not mutually exclusive as many benefits await those who exercise in a chair or with a chair to hold onto while exercising.  A seated chair exercise routine is a great way to get the benefit of muscle strength training (which people of all ages need) without risk of falling or losing one's balance.  

Linda Broome, our very experienced and pleasant exercise leader, coach and fellow parishioner is ready to help you in a group setting ( in our "no judgement" lower hall zone) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00-11:00 am or 11:30am-12:30 pm.  At those times exercises can be done sitting and/or standing.  Stretch and balance sessions in or using a chair are held on those same days from 1:00-2:00 pm.  Most of those who have come to the afternoon chair sessions (who range in age from 65-94 years old) will testify to great improvement in their strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and stamina (and no doubt a more hopefilled disposition about their overall health and well being).  Please give it a try!!  Your chair is waiting for you!!
