Why Sit and Be Fit Exercises Are a Great Activity for Seniors

October 27th, 2019

At Hamlets Red Deer, there are a number of senior living activities offered on an almost daily basis. One excellent activity choice for those in senior residential care services in Red Deer is Sit n Be Fit. Here is an explanation of what this is, and why it is a great activity for Hamlet's Red Deer seniors.


What is Sit n Be Fit?


Sit n Be Fit is a healthy aging program that is broadcast over many different public stations. This program is focused on helping seniors to “feel good and age well at any stage of their life”. The program itself provides workouts that can be done while sitting in a chair. These workouts provide a fitness increase, while being senior friendly. It is a great alternative to other types of excellent exercise, including walking.


Why is this a great choice for seniors?


The Sit n Be Fit program is an excellent choice for seniors who are looking for a fun, engaging health program that provides real health benefits, while being safe and accessible. Working out while sitting in a comfortable chair ensures that the risks of falls that would normally accompany a fitness routine is reduced, keeping seniors safe as they increase their health and fitness.


At Hamlets Red Deer, the Sit n Be Fit program is part of our regular calendar routine. Offered on a regular basis during the weekdays, residents in the Hamlets Red Deer community can come participate, be social, and see the health benefits that this program provides.
