This 6-hour live, interactive course will provide you the tools you need to teach a safe and effective active older adult fitness class and training session.
Exercise is for everyone, and seniors are no exception. The body will do what it is trained to do, so let's focus on older adult exercise education for instructors to ensure seniors' bodies function optimally. Just like all other age groups, seniors need cardio, balance, resistance, core, and flexibility training. Since most seniors will not exercise on their own, it's essential to equip fitness professionals with the knowledge and skills through senior fitness training education and comprehensive fitness education for seniors to train this demographic effectively.
