We've got all the exercises you need right here that don't need anything - just you - so they can be done anywhere, anytime. That might mean going outside for your training session, or fitting in a few exercises at the end of your balance class, or adding in additional exercises between equipment-based circuit stations.
There are lots of ways you can incorporate bodyweight exercises into your older adults' program, and there is so much variety you're going to have your participants busy for years to come. We've got lots of squat and lunge variations, but we've also got upper body exercises, arm and leg combinations, ideas for moving your classes across the room, and a bonus round too!
