What do you get when you mix bingo with exercise? The answer is Bingocize, an exercise program for older adults developed around the game of bingo.
Created by Jason Crandall, a Western Kentucky University associate professor of exercise science, Bingocize takes advantage of bingo’s popularity with older adults and integrates exercise and health education into the game.
Whether in person or via Zoom, participants play bingo combined with frequent intermissions for simple exercises to improve balance and range of motion.
Pima Council on Aging will be offering Bingocize remotely via Zoom for 10 weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning June 22 through August 26, from 10:30 a.m.
