Cineplex shuts its doors in Bridgewater | SaltWire #novascotia #cineplex #bridgewater #closureIn my role as a private practice physiotherapist, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful some of the new technology tools are in helping seniors optimize their health, especially when managing a chronic health condition. Wearable technology and virtual exercise classes are leading the technology trends for seniors.
However, in my mind, the big difference now is the advent of interactive online fitness classes. When we developed the online Club Z Fitness Program for adults aged 55+, we knew that supervision by trained eyes like a physiotherapist during exercise can be the difference between a great workout and a workout that causes pain or injury.
A development that is sometimes surprising is the community connection between participants we have seen form through the online Club Z Fitness Program. Having a regular connection to a group of peers with the shared interest of better health and well-being can go a long way to boosting mood and reducing feelings of loneliness, which are both issues seniors regularly face.
The integration of wearable technology and virtual exercise classes offers seniors a comprehensive approach to maintaining an active lifestyle. These tools not only provide the means to track and encourage physical activity but also bring the benefits of exercise into the home, making fitness more accessible and enjoyable.
