Is this Program for Me?
Zoomers on the Go is an exercise-based fall prevention program delivered a couple times a week for 12 weeks. This program is for those who may have concerns about falling, difficulty walking or balancing without support. You will learn basic resistance training, balance, and flexibility techniques while becoming more physically active.
Each class is peer-led by a certified volunteer leader over the age of 50 years. Peer-leaders may relate to participants and help them feel welcomed.
This program is targeting people who are:
-
Currently inactive
-
Uncomfortable balancing without support
-
Not taking part in a supervised exercise program
