Social, Active, Strong seated exercise programme

Find out how you can build your strength, improve mobility and meet new people with our seated exercise programme.

You can register your interest and sign up for a 12-week exercise programme which is delivered in small groups at community venues throughout Uttlesford.

The sessions are fun and welcoming and for the majority of the time you will be seated. On some occasions and if you are able during certain exercises the instructor may ask you to use the chair as a balance to help build your core strength.
