Fitness hour with seniors

The goal of this Fitness Hour with Seniors Integrated Service Project was to connect University of Utah students with the local senior population. This served many purposes, one being to act as a stepping-stone towards breaking the barriers that these students have towards the elderly population and vice versa. By facilitating this interaction between the two groups, our project will help dissolve stereotypes and biases towards the elderly population. Another one of the main objectives was to provide a safe and fun opportunity for seniors to participate in physical activity. The goal of this is to build relationships in the senior centers between students and seniors as well as between seniors and other seniors in the center. Other goals included helping maintain physical fitness levels and having fun through physical activity.
