Making fitness fun by Sandy Coffman

Making fitness fun is the key to success for everyone in our business, but for the aging population, it is the key to life itself. Let's face it, having a quality life is the definition of health as we grow older, yet it becomes increasingly difficult.

You can promote the up mood of fun through special programming efforts that will keep your members or residents involved in activity, exercise and movement. The key is you, the leader and the professional. To make fun, you have to be fun, and create excitement, enthusiasm, energy, and empathy for this special population.
