The point of corporeal action for older adults is being studied more frequently, with many conclusions showing that the more active older adults are, the more likely they are able to preclude the onset of diseases. Rehearsal has proven beneficial in preventing heart disease and to operate other conditions such as arthritis and diabetes.
In order for older adults to declare a healthy lifestyle and help them get the Rehearsal they need, there's a fun clarification older adults are raving about in Utah, called the Healthways SilverSneakers Fitness Program. SilverSneakers is the nation's leading fitness agenda designed exclusively for older adults, and is available at no added cost to eligible Medicare members. In Utah, this agenda is offered to eligible members of Humana and SecureHorizons by UnitedHealthcare.
This unique agenda allows older adults to take charge of their condition and declare an active, independent lifestyle. "The long-term condition benefits of regular Rehearsal for older adults are compelling," says Steve Lindstrom, Healthways senior vice president of Active Living. "In expanding to helping seniors stay physically healthy, SilverSneakers also offers a great way for them to socialize, meet new friends and have fun."
Every enrolled member of SilverSneakers receives a membership at any participating fitness center, where members can take benefit of conditioning classes, Rehearsal equipment, pool, sauna and other amenities. At each fitness center, there is a specially trained senior advisor to introduce the member to the agenda and post the member with the site.
Every site offers customized SilverSneakers classes which allow the member to heighten their strength, flexibility, equilibrium and endurance. Additionally, condition instruction seminars and other events that promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are available.
"It's those leading extras such as group events, condition instruction seminars and condition screening for such conditions as high blood pressure, cholesterol and flu shot availability that play such an leading role in the overall success of the program," said Mr. Lindstrom. Members also have the occasion to take benefit of the national reciprocity feature of the program, which allows way to any of the certified 2,600 plus participating locations across the nation while traveling.
SilverSneakers was designed specifically to encourage Medicareeligible individuals to increase their levels of corporeal action and motivate them to continue to be active. As of September 2007, the SilverSneakers agenda is offered in 49 states at no added cost to more than 3 million Medicareeligible individuals through its national network.
