Chair Aerobics Workshops
The aim of the chair aerobics workshop is to give you the skills and abilities to go out and set up your own Chair Aerobics classes in your local area. Providing a valueable service to the community and a source of income for yourself.
The workshop is aimed at Exercise to Music teachers who already have a qualification in Exercise to Music and who just wish to further develop their skills and abilities in teaching the older age group and people who have a physical limitation of some sort which means they have to do the exercises sitting down.
On the ChairAerobics Workshops run by Healthwise you will learn how to teach a mixed ability class of some people standing and some sitting. And/or the whole class sitting.
Qualifications Needed
To attend the workshop you need to have a qualification in teaching Exercise to Music classes. Bring a copy of your certificate with you on the day.
The workshop is aimed at Fitness Professionals who already have a background in fitness and/or Exercise to Music and who would like to further enhance their skills and knowledge to be able to teach more mixed ability groups, such as the elderly, disabled, etc.
The skills you will learn on the workshop will enable you to teach exercise to music classes to all levels and abilities. You will learn how to adapt standing exercises to people sitting in the chair so they also get the same training effect. Exercises for the arms, legs, abs, back, etc.
At the end of the workshop you will be able to go away and set up Chair Aerobics classes in your local area, either in gym studios or at community centres or care homes. You will be given tips on how to get started in working for yourself, where to apply for funding, etc.
Qualifications Received
A certificate of attendance to the workshop will be issued at the end of the workshop.
Your Exercise to Music qualification is your qualification to teach classes and the workshop will give you the tools to specialise if you wish in teaching the older adults group.
