How a Cardio Drumming Program Is Helping Seniors Get Back in Shape

WCAX reports that residents at the Equinox Terrace assisted living community in Bennington County, Vt., are participating in a cardio drumming program that promotes physical fitness as well as togetherness. Equinox Terrace Executive Director Ann Bouza said the program took shape after pandemic restrictions were lifted in February. The residents use drumsticks to bang on Pilates balls while music plays in the background, designed to encourage residents to keep the beat. "You're leaning and raising up and going over your head," noted resident Teresa Cross. "It gives you workouts you don't get in our room just being by ourselves."
