This exercise program aims to improve mobility and strength to prevent falls while incorporating a game the seniors love to play, Bingo.

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!
