In 1998, I graduated from Kutztown University with a degree in Education. However, I am currently working in a personal care facility named Evans Retirement Center. I love my work. It is so rewarding. Thank you for this video. It will continue to inspire me, in my work with the elderly population.
This looks great. An inspirational instructor. Great to see the residents enjoying the programme so much.

"Exercise is vital for our elderly"!
Also bring a pet in. It will lighten up there day. Pets are very therapeutic. A tonic for the elderly as well as excerise. 😀😁

I am working in older home and am looking something to do with this old people that will make them happy because they need to feel love not alone and trap in their room. I am working on language to make it more easy to communicate with them. I love my job, I love them the way I want to be love
they're so cuuute
This looks very helpful.
Thanks
Yea I have a comment.....although some exercise is good for older people....there don't seem to much else in the way of entertainment.....I looked into what things there were to do.for the older generations......They seem to be sat down in chairs all having to share the same room most of the time with not much going on from one day till the next having to be grateful for the little bit of entertainment they get on offer.....Bingo...a little exercise program.....Card games....those things are ok but that seems to be the main options.....they are grouped together as if they are children in a school classroom in some regimented way.....These homes should have better choices these days.....They should have a room for dance.....a room for exercise......a games room......a Arts and craft room......A rest room......and a TV room......a music room......They should have options......Not everyone in old age is chair bound .....some are more physically able than others....very sad......
hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out exercise cds for seniors try *Barkola Senior Fitness Blueprint* (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got great results with it.
I've been studying senior exercises and found a fantastic resource at Seniorcises (google it if you are interested)
