This senior fitness assessment for older adults will help you understand how you measure up against others in your age group. Part I will help you test yourself in six areas, and Part II will give you tips to improve areas of weakness.

These are great tests. As a physical therapist I use these all the time. Thanks for sharing this is an easy to do format!!

Thanks, Cindy, for taking the time to develop this test. It was very helpful in accessing where I am physically. I also want you to know that I am totally enjoying your exercise classes. Your enthusiasm and compassion shine through these well developed routines. I so enjoy exercising at home and this makes it all the more fun! Thanks again.

Hi Cindy! Our Professor Dr. Oddi gave us this video to go with our textbook for our Gerokinesiology class! Just subscribed so I can stay up to date for my older folks as a trainer (: thank you!

Thank you Cindy for your wonderful YouTube classes. In these times of lockdown during Coronavirus, your exercise classes are keeping me sane and fit

Thanks Cindy. The test and tips are REALLY helpful. I feel encouraged knowing where I am up to. Hope your hip replacement goes well. I have had one and it has made a world of difference.

Thank you for your videos and great instructions. I started yesterday with this one and the one on weights. I plan on getting myself back in shape using your videos as a guide. I used to social dance, West Coast Swing, and I am amazed at how quickly I got out of shape since early March! I will be 64 next month and you inspire me to have a body that's flexible and aerobically fit. Also, I appreciate that you don't woop and holler; you just give good instruction as you go along. Thanks for what you do.

Thank you Cindy, I have recently undergone breast cancer surgery, so I couldn’t do the upper body strength test, but I am looking forward to following along with your videos when cleared to do so. Maintaining a healthy, strong, and flexible body is very important to me. I am 72, and otherwise in good health; flexibility was my lowest score in the low average area.

Hi Cindy. I like your video but I have a question. I have heart disease and had a heart attack 8 years ago and I'm having some problems with how much exercise I can get due to how high my heart rate goes up as well as severe low back pain and my left hip has been in bad shape for a long time and is painful. Do you know how high your heart rate should go during the chair squats? And do you known if your exercises are safe for people with my health problems?

[shaishavsharma]

Guess what...
I have my physical education exam tomorrow, so I came here




BTW thankyou and love from India...

Hi Cindy, I let myself go several years without exercising after my back surgery. Now I’m trying to get in shape at 63. This is the first time I’ve seen a test to help me figure out where I stand in the areas you mentioned. Yes, I’m definitely out of shape, but I really appreciate your suggestions on how to improve in each area at the end of your video. Thank you for giving me hope that it’s not too late to increase my balance, strength and flexibility!

Looking at the squat challenge .... how can you compare the performance of a 5' tall to a woman who is 6' tall ? It seems to me the shorter woman would have better performance based on size alone

[tatyanaarrington]

this was so informative!!! Thank you so much!!!

Lovely Cindy, thank you! Join Axix Syllabus, long live Frey Faust!

This is good, but on the endurance test it’d be simpler if each step were counted as one step, then divided by two to match up with the chart. My opinion only. :)
