Armchair Pilates with Handweights
Description
When working with older exercisers, programs need to be adjusted, sometimes dramatically, to accommodate those with limited mobility. Using Toning Balls, this workout, developed by the STOTT PILATES® Academy team, targets core strength and stability along with peripheral joint mobilization all from a seated position. Exercises are designed to re-connect mind and body, target and improve the functional capacity of the older participant through graded strength training, proprioceptive awareness and joint range of motion, as well as bring about a general sense of well-being. Discover how to maximize functional health, balance, coordination and flexibility in a workout aimed at keeping the body moving.Workshop
