Strength Training Chair Workout for Seniors with Arthritis

The Sit and Be Fit Arthritis Workout, creatively choreographed to a variety of music by Mary Ann Wilson, RN, Creator/Host of the Public Television program Sit And Be Fit, is a combination of medically sound exercises. These workouts are slow moving and gentle, making them ideal for managing arthritis pain. Dr. John Klippel from the Arthritis Foundation presents tips for exercising with arthritis, including exercises that use a one-inch and ten-inch ball.

The SIT AND BE FIT program is practical, effective, and inspiring. It emphasizes the importance of taking care of our bodies, our most precious possession. Highly recommended by Walter M. Bortz II, M.D., Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, the program has been beneficial to the geriatric and less mobile population, as endorsed by John A. Fagan, M.D., a Geriatric Specialist at Rockwood Clinic in Spokane, WA.

Mary Ann Wilson, a registered nurse specializing in geriatrics and post-polio rehabilitation, is the founder and host of the award-winning exercise show Sit and Be Fit. The show, which airs on over 100 PBS television stations across the United States, started in 1987 and focuses on exercises for the elderly and individuals with limited mobility. These exercises can be done while sitting or using a chair, requiring minimal effort.
