All of the Live Stronger for Longer classes include exercises to help balance, strength and coordination. Classes are throughout Derbyshire.
Types of classes
Chair Based Exercises (CBE)
These sessions are predominantly seated, but may include some optional standing exercises. If you are new to exercise and or feel that you are unsteady on your feet then these are the sessions for you.
Chair Based Exercises, including Otago
These sessions involve both CBE and some supported standing exercises using light ankle weights to improve lower body strength and balance. If you are generally steady on your feet or feel you need to progress from just seated exercises then these are the sessions for you.
Otago Exercise Programme
These classes include mainly standing strength and balance exercises using light ankle weights to improve lower body strength and balance with the possibility of some seated strength work. If you are steady on your feet or have completed a falls prevention session within your local falls clinic then these would be the sessions to choose.
Postural Stability Group (PSG)
These classes include mainly standing strength and balance exercises with the possibility of some seated strength work. Exercises, including coping strategies and functional floor work will be included to help you return to your feet should you have a fall. If you are steady on your feet, have good mobility and have completed a falls prevention course within your local falls clinic then these would be the sessions to choose.
Tai Chi
T'ai chi is a Chinese exercise system that uses slow, smooth body movements to achieve a state of relaxation of both body and mind.
This is great for increasing your strength and balance. However, if you have previously had a fall, please get advice from the instructor to see if the class is suitable for you.
