Exercise while sitting in a chair
Designed for women and others of all ages and abilities, chair-based exercise offers an effective way to work mus-
cles and joints; increase stamina, muscle and bone strength; and boost flexibility.
The exercise program incorporates techniques that build on different areas of fitness, including moves that use a
person's body weight to target muscle strength and promote eye-hand coordination. Some exercises involve resis-
tance bands and balls, including one move where participants squeeze a ball placed between their knees. Moreover,
doing the exercises at a slow tempo allows people to feel their muscles work.
"All of sudden people feel accomplished," says certified personal trainer, Kristin Devine, leads an hour-long
weekly chair-based exercise class at the Gardiner Library in Gardiner. "They feel better and have more stamina. It's a
personal accomplishment and the reduction of stress automatically goes with that."
