Chair Based Exercises

Chair Based Exercise Project in Stotfold

We run Chair Based Exercise classes designed to meet the needs of frail and elderly local residents to enable them to remain active and independent. Previously there was no provision of this type in the Stotfold area.

The scientifically proven benefits of chair based exercise are:

• Improves performance of daily functional actions

• Strengthens important muscle groups

• Improves posture

• Promotes circulation

• Increases the range of movement at each major joint

• Improves coordination

• Increases daily activity levels

• Promotes interaction with others

Classes run every Friday afternoon in the rear room of the Stotfold Memorial Hall.

Participants need to have joined the Good Neighbour Group and have completed a medical questionnaire before they can join the classes.

After each class the members enjoy a half hour chat with tea, coffee and biscuits.

Please call if you are interested to join, there is often a short waiting list.
