Seniors expect to have access to programs that will reduce the negative health effects of aging, improve quality of life, and increase their health span. At Active Wellness, we’re focused on inspiring safe and engaging programs for seniors that improve their quality of life. Here are our 5 components to include in a successful active aging program:
- Variations in workout intensity to accommodate beginners and low-fitness individuals
- Low-impact, weight-bearing movements
- Routines emphasizing stability, mobility, and balance
- Exercises that don’t strain the lower back or joints and tendons
- A social atmosphere that’s welcoming to older exercisers
At Active Wellness we’re focused on inspiring safe and engaging programs for seniors that improve their quality of life. Contact us today to learn more about how we can engage with your active aging or how we can help your gym or fitness center target this market.
