Low-Impact Fitness and Active Aging

Staying strong, steady and mobile is one of the best things you can do for independence and quality of life at any age. This course is designed for older adults, people returning after a long break, larger bodies and anyone with sensitive joints. Every exercise has a seated or supported option, and the focus is on the abilities that matter most in daily life: getting up from a chair, walking confidently, carrying shopping, reaching overhead and keeping your balance.

What you will learn

• Chair-based and standing strength exercises for legs, arms and core
• Balance training to help reduce the risk of falls
• Low-impact cardio you can do in your living room
• Joint-friendly mobility for hips, knees, shoulders and back
• How to get down to and up from the floor safely
• Weekly plans for different starting levels

Who this course is for

• Older adults and active agers
• People with stiff or sensitive joints
• Anyone returning to exercise after illness, injury or a long break, once cleared by their doctor

Every lesson includes a guided practice session, a safety note and a short quiz, and you earn a certificate when you finish. This course is general fitness education, not medical advice: check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
