Hi everyone,
Does anyone know the name of any exercise DVD's for seniors, mainly wheelchair and princess chair bound. (chair exercises) I have the golden carers chair exercises and another seated DVD (walking up the mountain) need something to get them motivated.
Thanks
Donna

There are also some great chair aerobics available on YouTube. I have created for our use a playlist on YouTube. we just rotate between videos from week to week to keep it fun!

We do seated exercise most days and I convert my daily exercises to suit the residents. We use stretchy bands' ,form of simon says, seated marching.(this is a lot of fun as they mixup their arms.) We all have fun and have found they prefer to watch me than a dvd.

SitDance is what my lifestyle supervisor uses (I'm on placement right now). I have bought the Smile and Sway DVD, which looks very good, but I haven't actually seen it yet!

I use You Tube - a couple favorites are Jackie Talley armchair exercises, Sherry Zak Yoga programs, and Yes2Next work out videos.
