Tips on Living a Healthier Lifestyle

Author: Carolina Robles

Planning Unit: Jefferson County CES

Major Program: Health

Plan of Work: Making Proactive Choices For A Healthier Life

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The problem: Senior Citizens have a difficult time finding activities that promote being physically active. 


The educational program response: The response of the program was not well received. The individuals were not excited to learn about being physically active and did not want to do any activity that involves movement.


The participants/target audience: Target audience was senior citizens over the age of 60


Other partners (if applicable): n/a


Program impact or participant response: the program impact was to find ways in which seniors can so physical activities other than just the typical workout routine. I wanted to encourage them to be physically active in any way that they can and gave them tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle when it comes to physical activity.
