BingoCize offers exercises that promote group games that are socially engaging for seniors. This program allows for low-impact exercises that increase heart rate and stay active without putting too much pressure on the body. Studies show physical activity and exercise helps improve physical mental, and social health.

It really is a change of pace and brings improvement to their daily routine.
