Exercise Programs Comments Off on The Silver&Fit Free Senior Exercise Classes Expand to 54 a Week in 2021, Streaming on Facebook Live and YouTube – PRNewswire

Silver&Fit expands its free workouts to 9 classes a day streaming on Facebook Live and YouTube starting December 4th.

"As the new year ramps up and winter weather sets in, millions of Americans will be seeking new ways to meet their New Year's fitness goals from the safety of home," said George DeVries, chairman and CEO of American Specialty Health Incorporated(ASH), which launched the Silver&Fit program in 2007. "The reality is that we all are trying to maintain a fitness regimen during one of the worst pandemics in modern history, and it's vital that programs like Silver&Fit provide solutions that not only help our health plan clients keep their members fit, but help the general public stay fit and safe at home. Our expanded fitness schedule offers more types of classes, taught by world-renowned instructors uniquely qualified to create workouts for older adults."

The Silver&Fit roster of elite instructors include award-winning instructors like Damien Diaz, celebrity trainers like Keli Roberts, fitness program founders like Adita Lang,and entrepreneurs and authors like Carl Powers. In total, the Silver&Fit public class offering will feature more than 25 fitness instructors in its free, streaming workout experience.

"The new six-day schedule is arranged to encourage people to try various types of workouts for different fitness benefits," said Jaynie Bjornaraa, PhD., MPH, PT, and AVP of Digital Fitness Solutions with the Silver&Fit program. "For example, on a Saturday, someone finishing the 8 a.m. advanced cardio class may want to follow that with intermediate yoga at 9 a.m. Workouts that focus on different components of fitness offer better overall physical health improvement opportunities."

"We have received an outpouring ofpositive feedback from thousands of people about our free, streaming Fit at Home exercise classes, and we know these new classes will help many more improve their fitness and also their connection to other like-minded individuals," added Dr. Bjornaraa. "This kind of community, where people are gathering together and sharing exercises, comments and ideas, helps them overcome social isolation."

Since launching its first free public classes on Facebook and YouTube in March in response to the pandemic, Silver&Fit's senior exercise classes have been viewed more than 1.5 million times, and the program has gained over 20,000 social media followers.

"These classes are my lifeline," said Silver&Fit Facebook follower Rose L. "I have lost 20 pounds since August. I do two classes every day."

"The workouts have boosted my balance and strength," said Silver&Fit class participant Bonnie P.
