The Recreation, Culture and Community Services Department has created some online workouts that you can use in your own home. Check out the beginner older adult workouts below. We also have older adult workouts for intermediate level and advanced levels.
Please Note: As with all exercise programs, when using our routines, you need to use common sense. To reduce and avoid injury, you will want to check with your doctor before beginning any fitness program. When performing any fitness exercises, you are performing them at your own risk. Always go at your own pace and what feels comfortable. Thanks for your understanding.
