Fitness Classes

[edh28]

As part of my CRNA position, I teach exercise classes for LTC/SNF. I already know a ton of basic group exercises but those are boring for the residents after awhile. I tried implementing games such as wheelchair kickball or balloon toss and they absolutely loved it but I don't want those to get boring too. Any ideas for fun active games they can do from a chair/wheelchair

Today, I watched a small group in a circle bat around a balloon with pool noodles (that were cut in half) and they were having a blast! They were using a black balloon and a red balloon which were easier to see.

"Snowball fight" Use those giant marshmallows(or styrofoam balls). Goal is to get the most snowballs into the other teams goal area within a given time limit while fending off the opponents incoming snowballs. No picking up snowballs off the floor!!! (don't want anybody falling out of their chair!!!)

Another version of this is 2 teams against each other trying to toss as many snowballs as possible (in a certain time limit) into a laundry basket.
