The population of older adults is exploding and they want to continue to work, travel and play for as long as possible. Traditional "senior" exercise programs are somewhat beneficial but they do not maximize functional ability which is so crucial in later life. In this workshop you will learn innovative exercise strategies, techniques and movements for clients over the age of 50 that have been shown to be critical to functional aging. Through lecture and hands-on learning you will develop the knowledge and skills to perform functional fitness assessments and create functional exercise programs for a wide variety of older clients. Become the" go to" expert in your community for training mature adults.

As an added Bonus Attendees will be given full access to the Functional Aging Group Exercise Specialist Certification online learning modules and to become certified, attendees will have the opportunity to complete the online exam. A value of $399 included with this workshop, plus you receive up to an additional 9 CEUs upon completion.

Audience: Certified small group and one-on-one personal trainers; group exercise instructors; physical therapists; physical therapy assistants; bootcamp leaders
