A free online health and wellbeing programme has been launched to help older people to stay fit and well throughout their retirement.
This new initiative has been launched by Home Plus, Ireland’s home equity release specialists, and was inspired by the company ethos, ‘Retirement is for Living’.
The bespoke programme, ‘BOlder Fitness & Wellbeing’ has been designed with the needs and abilities of older people in mind and draws upon the expertise of Home Plus’s wellness partner, Fitvision.
Home Plus works exclusively with over 55’s and is aiming to equip this age cohort with the necessary tools to look after all aspects of their health, acknowledging the importance of both mental and physical health. The programme encourages people to ‘not just be Older, but be BOlder’.
The new resource is freely available on the Home Plus website and social media channels. Four quick tip videos, between 2-4 minutes in length, will be released each month, followed by a 15–20-minute full workout video. The short videos will focus on various aspects of healthy eating, exercise, stretching and overall wellbeing.
The longer workout videos will cater for people of all abilities and will cover exercises that can be completed from a standing position or seated in a chair. Over the next few months, the programme aims to guide over 55’s on a journey to regain their strength and confidence and to embrace exercise at home. The programme has been designed to enable participants to progress with upper and lower body workouts as new content is released each month.
