The award-winning SilverSneakers Fitness Program is a proven, results-oriented program that enables older adults, often burdened with chronic conditions, to take charge of their health and maintain an active, independent lifesyle.

The popular fitness class benefits participants from “head to toe” with warm-up and range-of-movement exercise before working with hand-held weights, elastic tubing, and balls for a total body workout. The cool-down, final stretch, and relaxation segments calm and refresh students to return to their daily activities with a renewed sense of confidence. As participants’ conditioning increases, SilverSneakers expands with more challenging choreography that focuses on movement exercises to prepare them for a heart-healthy cardiovascular workout. This level is followed by the third level of exercises developed to enhance conditioning work for improving strength and style. The class meets the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s suggestion that Seniors incorporate moderate to vigorous physical activity into their lives for significant health benefits.
