Course overview
Welcome to this course of easy online fitness classes. Whilst originally recorded for a project called 'Body and Mind,' aimed at the over 55s age group, these classes are suitable for anyone looking for gentle sets of exercises to increase fitness, flexibility, mobility and wellbeing.
There are around 30 videos in the 'Body and Mind' series. We will be gradually releasing these to you over the coming weeks and months.
Each lesson is just 15 to 20 minutes in length, making these classes short, quick and easy to integrate into your busy daily routine!

- Class 1: Fitness in your 50s - workout 1 (you're here right now!)

Hi guys, and welcome back to another body and mind fitness video for over 55s.
My name is Toby. Today we're going to be running through a dynamic movement session. It's going to be getting our heart rate going. Just to get us into that cardiovascular zone and just get a little bit of a sweat on and generally improve our overall fitness.
OK, so we're not going to need any equipment at all for today. Maybe just your mat. Somewhere comfortable for your feet to stand.
Let's get going.
[Minutes 1 - 4: Warmup Routine]
[Minutes 4 - 14: Main Workout]
[Minutes 14 - 16: Cooldown and closing chat]
Really, really well done today. That was a fantastic exercise guys. Really good for just working the heart rate at a fitness level. So we're not over-exerting ourselves. We're just really maintaining a solid base level of fitness. It's going to work on the flexibility and also the strength as well.
Thank you very much for joining me today and I'm looking forward to seeing you for another exercise video for over 55s through body and mind.
Take care.
