“Amac firmly believe that a holistic approach is needed to promote exercise, especially in populations that have specific fitness considerations” says Dave Lee, Amac’s Education and Training Director. “Launching our new e-learning Chair-based Exercise Instructor qualification seemed a logical way to share our fitness expertise and directly address the problem of inactivity in older adults”

She says "Incorporating chair-based exercise in a fun way is the key to a happier healthier life in older adults. It prevents social isolation and enhances daily living by giving them the feel good factor. It promotes their wellbeing physically, emotionally and socially and makes them smile."
