There is so much more to helping older adults maintain their independence than a few sit to stands and single leg balances. If people have the capability, we should be encouraging them to achieve more than they thought they could; improving motor skills, co-ordination, reaction time for example. In my classes, I try to motivate my members to achieve something they couldn’t previously do. They often surprise themselves. #olderadulttraining #seniorwellbeing #seniorfitness #seniorhealth

One consistent concern we hear from adult children is, “My parents just sit at home and aren’t active at all.” It’s often hard to comprehend how someone can be active one moment and the complete opposite the next—especially after an incident like a fall. At Evergreen, we incorporate engaging group exercises into our daily routine at least twice a day. Our offerings include boxing, using weights, resistance bands, and nature walks, among others. Each program is tailored to the individual’s level of physical ability, ensuring that any assistive devices like canes or walkers are accommodated, and activities are adjusted accordingly. What's the biggest challenge you face in motivating your loved ones to stay active? We'd love to know your thoughts. #longevity #aginggracefully #physicalhealth #seniorcare

As my doctor reminds me every year at my annual appointment: There is no magic pill to being healthy. You need to stay active at least 30 min a day! It seems so simple but we tend to let life and other things get penciled into the schedule instead. Recently I tried Pickleball. Apparently this sport is exploding on the scene with older adults and I can see why! It was fun and I was active and engaged and the hour passed so quickly! Find something that is fun that you can enjoy with friends and still get some exercise! It's a win win for the brain and body! #occupationaltherapy #falls #fallsprevention #safety

We can lose these skills with age; trunk rotation and co-ordination. Two of my older group members having a practise. (Late 80s and early 90s) #olderadulthealth #60plusfitness #essexbusiness
