Discovering New Forms of Fitness

As you get older, you may find that you have a new set of fitness goals you want to achieve, such as improving your balance and flexibility. We're committed to helping older adults stay physically and mentally healthy.

Older adults, particularly those with arthritis, can benefit from the Enhance®Fitness arthritis management program. Available at Ys across the country, this group class incorporates simple, easy-to-learn movements that inspire you to stay active.

Moving For Better Balance

Improve your balance and prevent falls with a modified take on Tai Chi. This unique 12-week program was developed by researchers at the Oregon Research Institute.

From dipping a toe into water aerobics to joining a social group, see how five seniors are finding new interests at the Y - and making new connections along the way.

Discover more individualized programs to keep your spirit, mind and body healthy.

Yoga and chair aerobics are two of the many group classes you can try at the Y. Move at your own pace alongside encouraging class members.

Learn tips and healthy habits for decreasing your risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Our small-group program is offered by more than 200 Ys across the country.

I can see myself continuing yoga or pilates later in life because it's a low intensity exercise that is great for posture, balance, and muscle strength. I would probably need to utilize lower weights and balance poles in pilates or less intense postures in yoga to adapt.

Gardening. This is important for their well-being because it can help to reduce stress, provide exposure to sunlight (Vitamin D), and increase in social participation.

Hiking/camping

I would love to continue participating in being in the outdoors. Maybe changing from tent camping to an RV

Later on in life I can see myself continuing to cook. I really want to get more into bbqing and smoking and even making pizzas hehe. Depending on my level of ability it may have to be modified such as using pre-prepped ingredients such as pre-chopped veggies or even using adaptive kitchen equipment
