Good morning! I am looking for recommendations for an exercise routine that incorporates music. I have located one great You tube podcast “ Flashback theatre” the residents love exercising to this and singing along to familiar tunes. however am wanting to spice things up and provide some variety. Welcome all suggestions! Thanks in advance :) Julieanne

Hi Catherine

I understand you want to spice up your exercise program

I do not know the level of ability and cognitive function the participants have, but if they have dementia or some other cognitive dysfunction, sometimes they like the same routine so they know what to do

Sometimes the staff gets bored with the routine but not residents

Golden Carers has many exercise programs to choose from if you want to spice things up

I especially like this one
