Our project, casually titled “Besties with Lion Befrienders” aimed to engage the elderly in some exercises to promote the importance of keeping fit and healthy even as one ages.

Our class was divided into three separate groups, where each group had planned one activity for the elderly. The activities planned were Taichi, Zumba and Exercise Pong (Cup Pong with a twist!).

From these activities, we were able to engage with the elderly, as well as do the exercises along with them- through the incorporation of demonstrators for each activity, such that not only would there be a visual guide for the elderly, it also would not have been a one-sided effort where only the elderly were putting in effort into completing the exercises.
