An interval format that combines higher intensity walking patterns for cardio training with lower intensity and interactive flexibility exercises.  The riddles, trivia questions, and planned socialization improve engagement, cognition, and social skills.  All exercises could be performed seated if needed.

The lesson plan includes components of flexibility, ROM, balance, muscular strength and endurance, and cardiorespiratory fitness, with an emphasis throughout on balance.  Developing balance skills can increase confidence in performing daily activities and help to prevent falls.

A creative class format that focuses on functional movement (unloading the dishwasher), a circuit training format (blending 1 minute of balance, 1 minute of cardio, and 1 minute of muscular strengthening exercises), and a guided imagery activity in the cool-down.

This combined format includes options for both circuit and interval training to target cardio, strength, and balance. Use the template and adjust the timing to create an ideal class for your participants and your schedule.
