OATS from AARP Celebrates National Physical Fitness and Sports Month with Online Programs

 In honor of National Fitness Month in May, Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP celebrated its growing community of older adults with a variety of free virtual classes, through its flagship Senior Planet program, aiming to help seniors flip the script on aging, get active, build strength and have fun while doing it. To cap off the month’s activities, Senior Planet hosted a virtual “Meet and Move,” where this year’s Senior Planet Sponsored Athletes shared their inspiring fitness journeys with older adults around the nation.

 Now in its fourth year, the Senior Planet Sponsored Athlete Program highlights the remarkable athletic feats that older adults aged 60+ can accomplish – along with the importance of staying active and fit.

 Senior Planet offered a number of health and wellness classes, including Morning Stretch, Fit Fusion Workout, Easy-to-Follow Tai Chi, Stronger Bones, Chair Yoga and Strength and Stability. Older adults across the nation can join free virtual exercise classes at www.seniorplanet.org.  AARP Foundation is a LeadingAge CAST Patron. PR Newswire and Street Insider carried the news.
