Bingocize at Jessamine County Senior Center

Author: Karli Giles

Planning Unit: Jessamine County CES

Major Program: Active Living and Health Promotions General

Plan of Work: Improving Health & Well Being

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Jessamine County Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent offered Bingocize at the Jessamine County Senior Center, a program that incorporates exercise with the game Bingo. The program consisted of twenty one-hour sessions. Participants engaged in exercises that ranged from chair exercises to standing exercises and used their body weight and weight equipment. 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!
