This session focused on building strength and stability through functional exercises—designed to help you move more confidently in daily life.

Inspired by the Senior Games: The National Senior Games celebrate active adults age 50+ who find joy in movement. GetSetUp proudly sponsors athletes like Madonna (runner) and The Arch Rivals (volleyball team) to encourage others to stay active. Learn more about the Senior Games.
Foundational Movements: We practiced “sit-to-stands,” one of the best daily exercises for maintaining mobility and leg strength. By focusing on controlled movement and balance, we worked on skills needed for standing, sitting, and daily tasks.
Stability and Balance Boosters: Using a chair or wall for support, we added challenges like staggered stances, single-leg lifts, and knee raises—targeting muscle groups that help with posture, fall prevention, and stability.
Strength for Everyday Life: Exercises like kickbacks, crossovers, and toe lifts helped strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, and calves. We even tried gentle jumping—shown to support bone health and mineral density—with options for low-impact modifications.
You Can Do These Anytime: All movements can be done at home in short sessions. Whether you're lifting your toes while brushing your teeth or practicing balance while standing near a counter, small efforts add up.
