HSE Easy Exercise Programme

A Chair based programme for Older Adults

Research shows that you need to do 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a day to gain many health benefits. However, some of these benefits will be experienced even by doing low intensity gentle exercise, such as the exercises in this booklet.

These chair exercises are aimed at improving your ability to carry out your daily activities and so focus on MOBILITY, STRENGTH & ENDURANCE, BALANCE and AEROBIC FITNESS
