Welcome to the next big thing in health and wellbeing!
Cardio drumming exercise has been around for a while bringing many physical, mental and social benefits. So here at LifeDock we decided to create our own drum fitness programme suitable for older people and/or people with physical or learning disabilities. Training to be a seated drum exercise instructor will give you the opportunity to bring joy, energy, laughter and fun to the people you support! Drumming is so much fun and as your participants drum and sing along they won't even notice they are exercising! Drumming fitness is a great way to engage the people you support - seniors and/or people with disabilities!
Why not train your staff or yourself to be a drum exercise instructor today so you can bring the joy to the people you support!
Joan Runacres, age 98, took part in chair based drumming at Cinnamon Care, Netley Court. She said, “I can’t believe how much fun it was, and the best thing is that my shoulders feel great today after the class. I can’t wait for the next one!”
This fun and energising activity is perfect for older people and day centres, nursing or residential homes, supported housing and a wide range of community settings.
The Drum Based Exercise instructor training course is a level 2 qualification.There are no pre-course requirements necessary to get your people drum fit - just the desire to be a rock star!
