The Las Vegas Senior Sit to Stand Exercise [Video]

This simple in-home exercise is the best for mobility and independence

We found a straightforward and free video from Eldergym that shows how to do the basic sit to stand exercise as well as how to make it more challenging as seniors gain strength.
 
The ability to stand up from a chair makes a huge difference in everyday life for seniors. It helps with essential activities like getting up from the toilet, out of bed, and out of a chair.
 
That’s why the sit to stand exercise is probably the best of the mobility exercises for Las Vegas seniors.

Safety during exercise is the top priority
Safety is number 1! The most important thing is that your older adult doesn’t fall or hurt themselves while exercising. For older adults who are unsteady on their feet, we recommend having them wear a gait belt while you stand next to them and lightly hold on to the belt while they do their exercises. That way, you can provide instant stability in case they get off balance.
