Strength for a Lifetime
Bodyweight Mastery for Seniors

Calisthenics for seniors focuses on functional independence, joint stability, and the prevention of muscle loss (sarcopenia). By using gentle bodyweight movements, older adults can build the strength needed for daily tasks like standing up, climbing stairs, and maintaining balance, all while reducing the risk of falls and fractures.

Gentle Routines
Foundations of Mobility
These exercises are designed to be performed using common household items like chairs and walls. They prioritize 'Functional Movement'—the kind you use every day.

Mastery: Seated Chair Marching

Seated Chair Marching is a foundational mobility exercise that builds core stability, hip flexor strength, and cardiovascular health without joint impact. It is a critical functional movement that supports daily tasks like walking, climbing stairs, and dressing.

Proper Technique Step-by-Step

Step 1: The Setup

Sit on a sturdy, armless chair with your feet flat on the floor. Maintain an upright posture with your shoulders back and down. Avoid leaning against the backrest to engage your core naturally.

Step 2: Engage and Lift

Tighten your abdominal muscles as if bracing for a gentle tap. Slowly lift your right knee toward your chest as high as comfortable, keeping your foot flexed and your back straight.

Step 3: Control the Descent

Lower your right foot back to the floor with deliberate control. Avoid letting the foot 'plop' down; the slow lowering phase is where much of the strength is built.

Step 4: Alternate & Repeat

Repeat the movement with your left leg. Continue this alternating 'march' for 1-2 minutes or 10-15 repetitions per leg, maintaining a steady, rhythmic breathing pattern.
