Chair based exercises are massively beneficial for seniors. Here are 5 reasons why:
1. Increased flexibility and strength. Bone density and muscles weaken as we get older so it is important to gently exercise to keep active and maintain strength.
2. Increased coordination. Learning a routine and the repetitive nature of the exercises can also be good for dementia patients. The exercises also help with posture and straight alignment of the spine.
3. Increased circulation. This also means a faster healing of injuries and wounds, faster sickness recovery time, greater lung capacity and much easier mobility.
4. Reduced risk of falls because chair based exercises improve posture and balance. Balance can be affected by medication as well. Falling and injuring yourself when elderly, has a longer recovery time and can be a chain reaction type of injury. To reduce this risk is therefore key in elderly healthcare.
5. Increased confidence and self esteem. Sometimes elderly people lose confidence, particularly after a fall and gentle exercise as part of a group activity can help bring that back.
