Exercise is for everyone, and older adults are no exception. The body will do what it is trained to do, so let's train older adults with effective exercise for older adults strategies to ensure their bodies function optimally. Just like all other age groups, older adults need cardio, balance, resistance, core, and flexibility training. Since most of them will not exercise on their own, let's provide a fun, supportive, and social environment for them to engage in fitness for seniors. This course will give you the tools to confidently lead a safe, effective, active older adult fitness class, small group training, or private training session focusing on senior fitness training.
The ToughAgers® format follows guidelines and research for older adult fitness. Through detailed narrated videos and digital manual, this course teaches you how to apply this information. With over 170 detailed exercise examples, you will be guided through the following:
• Introduction
• Module 1 - Cardiorespiratory Training
• Module 2 - Balance Training
• Module 3 - Resistance Training
• Module 4 - Special Populations
• Module 5 - Core Training
• Module 6 - Flexibility Training
• Conclusion
After you have completed the 6 hours of instruction, you are encouraged to take the untimed quiz. With a score of 80% or higher, you will receive a ToughAgers® Instructors Course Completion certificate with the following.

How to lead a group fitness class for active older adults was a challenge I faced years ago. Through my journey in senior fitness training, I learned valuable lessons by applying my education, experience, and the feedback I received from older adults. This led me to develop an easy-to-follow format that certified group fitness instructors and personal trainers could use to effectively implement exercise for older adults and promote fitness for seniors.
