Getting started is the most difficult thing to do. Sitting around too long seems to make you feel more tired. But you can experience the best of both worlds, sitting and being active by taking a workout class in a chair.  So, if you are gonna sit around, sit around with purpose, improve your health, feel more energized and try a chair class.


Chair Class


Here are some of the benefits of a Chair Class -

  • A seated workout can be more productive because you don’t have to worry about the interruptions of losing your balance.

  • A Chair Class can reduce back pain because the Lower Back is in a more released position as you bring more focus to the abdominal areas.

  • An optimum and safe workout is what we’re all looking for. A secure seated position can address flexibility, strength and cardio, therefore it can be a full-body fitness session.

  • One does not need many gadgets to achieve a full workout in a Chair Class. Gravity and supporting one's own weight can be a great tool for resistance.

  • In resistance exercises one can give and take against gravity by using the different parts of the chair and many other off center positions and directions.

  • A Chair Class is also a wonderful way to achieve better posture because it begins at the core and torso level.

  • Don’t forget to enjoy your Fitness, Dance and You!
