Hi, We have a exercise program where I work for the residents but I would like to buy a dvd for chair exercises for those days that im on holidays or sick. Does anyone know of any good ones & where to buy them from. Cheers
Hi Fiona,
We've had a lot of people inquiring about suitable exercise dvds.
Just letting you know that Golden Carers is currently producing a dvd of Gentle Chair Exercises. This will be available in October. We'll let everyone know when it's ready of course!
Thanks Fiona.

Hi Fiona, I use a Scottish music CD, piano accordion, with jigs and reels. It has got a good toe-tapping beat, good for exercises. You can also try line-dancing music which has a strong 4-, 6- or 8-beat.
Hi,
I have found it hard to get a music C.D for arm chair exercises. I have purchased a couple only to find it was not what I wanted. Can anyone recommend a title with music that has a good beat so we can do mainly sit down exercises. Jazz, rock 'N' roll, 50's or 60's music.
Thank you Debbie
thank you,
this has helped me a lot as I contact life be in it last week for a list of the music on this C.D. As it was $90.00 with postage I didn't want to waste my money if the music was not suitable. However, they did not want to list the songs for me and stated it was their best seller.
Kaye, if you have sometime to list just a few of the songs for me I would be grateful, that way I will get a feel for the type and rhythm in the songs.
I am after a C.D that they can sit and tap feet, click fingers, arm movements that sort of thing.
Cheers Debbie
