Led by our experienced instructor David Jack, this online class provides an opportunity to evaluate and improve your upper-body strength, essential for maintaining an active and independent lifestyle.
Upper-body strength plays a vital role in performing daily activities, such as lifting groceries, carrying items, and maintaining proper posture. It also contributes to overall physical function and independence. In the Assess Your Upper-Body Strength class, we will guide you through a quick test to gauge your current upper-body strength levels.
To participate in this class, you will need a chair, handheld weights, and a watch or clock. These simple equipment items are easily accessible and will allow you to accurately measure your progress during the assessment.
David Jack, our knowledgeable instructor, will lead you through the class, providing step-by-step instructions and guidance. He will explain the importance of upper-body strength for seniors and older adults, emphasizing its positive impact on daily activities and overall quality of life.
During the session, you will perform a timed upper-body exercise called arm curls. Using handheld weights, you will complete as many repetitions as possible within a 30-second timeframe. This test serves as a valuable indicator of your current upper-body strength and endurance.
By assessing your upper-body strength, you gain insight into your physical capabilities and areas for improvement. David will offer modifications and tips to help you perform the exercise correctly and safely, ensuring that you maximize the benefits of the assessment.
Following the assessment, David will provide guidance on how to enhance your upper-body strength through targeted exercises and training techniques. He will introduce a variety of exercises that specifically target the muscles of the arms, shoulders, and upper back, promoting strength, stability, and functional fitness.
