Aerobics
We hope you are well and have been enjoying the beautiful weather
this summer. Welcome to the fall season and please remember to
exercise a few times each week so you can stay healthy and feel your
best during this very difficult pandemic. It is important to wear a
mask if you cannot be six feet away.
If you want to continue with the Chair Yoga exercises with our
OHCC Instructors use YouTube videos.
Since we cannot meet in person during this time in the Clubhouse
due to the COVID-19 virus, here are two suggestions for you to
exercise at your home with our very own Ocean Hills Senior Fitness
instructors Cheryl Todd and Tatis Cervantes-Aiken. It is free and all
you need is a sturdy folding chair. These Chair Yoga exercises each
last approximately one hour. When the Clubhouse opens we'll meet
again.
Instructions: Go to the URL line on your computer. Type in
YOUTUBE.COM/HARMONYGROVEYOGA and you will get a video
with Cheryl Todd teaching the Chair yoga class. Just follow her
example using a sturdy chair.
Go to the URL line on your computer. Type in TATISCERVANTES
and you will see her Lively Chair Yoga Class with Tatis Cervantes-
Aiken. Sit in your sturdy chair and start the chair yoga exercise.
It is as easy as that.
