Seated Fitness, Function and Balance Instructor
This advanced course is an extension of what you have learned on the chair-based exercise course. In this course you will learn new seated exercises, and we shall introduce you to some supported standing and free standing chair neuromotor exercises that can provide additional benefits.
You will learn how we can adapt movements to change their focus and how they effect our bodies. You will learn how an exercise can be made harder so it can continue to offer benefit as the body adapts and grows stronger. Progressing an exercise is not simply adding a heavy weight or heavier resistance, exercises can also be made more complex to tax the neuromotor system (i.e. balance and proprioception). You will widen your repertoire of exercises and be able to revitalise your sessions by substituting or adding these to what you do.
