Seated. Assisted. Standing: Rethinking Movement for Every Ability with Mindy Mylrea
Interview with fitness veteran, Mindy Mylrea to discuss creating classes that meet older adults where they are. Mindy shares her decades-long fitness career and how she’s focused on active aging through her SASS program (Seated, Assisted, Standing for Seniors), designed to let participants with very different abilities train together in one class. We cover:How to structure a classHow to use simple equipment and body positioning for multiple options; and How to market and cue classes to avoid intimidation and ensure success for everyone. She identifies gaps in active aging programming, and how her and her husband built a non-profit based on Blue Zones research.Links for Mindy:https://themovementors.com/Instagram@mindymyrealfitnessConnect with AGEnts of Movementhttps://www.agentsofmovement.com/ Sign up for the newsletter:https://www.agentsofmovement.com/newsletter
