This exercise program aims to improve mobility and strength to prevent falls while incorporating a game the seniors love to play, Bingo.
The program reached 15 participants: two males, 13 females, three black individuals, and 12 white individuals.
Comments from Bingocize participants:
I feel the exercises we do in my arms when I get home.
I fell and broke my arm and have been receiving physical therapy. My physical therapist said the exercises I’m doing at Bingocize are helping with my arm mobility.
I love Bingocize!
