Third Age Fitness

Freestyle exercise is just that - exercises that are free of restraints, but have plenty of style! This short course is fantastic for fitness professionals who teach older populations who may have limited mobility, struggle with their balance, or who haven't exercised for long periods. All of our mobility exercises are seated, gentle, and performed at a slower pace. The emphasis here is on participation and movement, and providing safe exercises for our seniors and older adults.

We've put together 50 exercises that you can do in your aged care or community classes, that don't need any equipment or any experience, and that are perfect for your ageing participants to keep them mobile and moving!

Included in the course:
• Video demonstrations of every exercise with all the tips and technique to teach confidently
• Handouts that list every exercise, to help you build your own training program
• Example workouts so you can see how Carol puts together a freestyle mobility class
• The benefits of mobility exercises, even for those with poor fitness levels
• Reasons why we love freestyle exercises

Freestyle is so easy to do, and so easy for everyone to join in with. Sign up now and join us as we show you how to get your seniors and older adults moving in different ways - perfect for aged care, retirement living, and community classes with older populations.

The course is 100% online with no video submissions required - assessment is an online multiple choice quiz. You can stop and start the course as many times as you need to, and professional members have unlimited ongoing access to the course (non-members have 12 months access).

A Course Manual is available for electronic download to guide you through the course. Keep your notes together in one place, refer back to our tips for teaching gentle exercise, and get handouts with full descriptions of every exercise so you don't forget variations and technique. This is a wonderful resource to keep you teaching effectively for years to come.
