Older adults can stay active at home. Check out the National Institute on Aging’s free mini exercise guide, Workout to Go. The guide includes easy-to-follow instructions and photos of strength, balance, and flexibility exercises that can be done at home. https://order.nia.nih.gov/…/workout-to-go-mini-exercise-gui…
If you are starting back with your fitness routine, go slow. Don’t push yourself too hard right away. Establish a routine. Find an app that helps you keep track of your exercises or gives you suggestions for new routines.
Check out these two fitness websites that the YMCA of Indiana County is providing their members.
From our one and only Roger Briscoe:
10 burpees
20 high knees
10 pushups

Do as fast as you can, take a 3 minute break on between and do 3-5 total sets
A cohort of Ys have collaborated to create an on-demand healthy living network called YMCA 360, which includes virtual programs that can be accessed anywhere. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and recommendations for social distancing, the team behind YMCA 360 has made this programming available for free to all Ys to share with their members and community. The content is accessible on the YMCA 360 YouTube Channel at www.YMCA360.org .
YMCA 360 offers online exercise, fitness, wellbeing, and youth sports classes from the comfort of your own home. Popular classes like yoga, barre, bootcamp, tai chi, boxing, weightlifting and soccer are free for you and your family.
