15 Min Brain + Body Workout for Seniors

🧠 Train your brain and move your body with this fun 15-minute Brain and Body workout! Join Mom and me as we combine easy, low-impact movement with simple coordination exercises designed to get you thinking while you move.

We’ll alternate gentle walking and movement intervals with fun Brain + Body exercises that challenge your coordination, focus, hand control, and ability to get different parts of your body working together.

And don’t worry—you do NOT have to get everything right! 😊

In fact, getting a little mixed up is part of the fun. This workout isn’t a test. Take your time, laugh with us, and keep trying.

During the workout, we’ll challenge ourselves with:
🧠 Finger Switch — practices the coordination used for small everyday hand movements, like typing, handling coins, or using buttons and controls.
🧠 Fist + Palm — challenges your hands to do different jobs at the same time, similar to everyday activities like holding a jar with one hand while twisting the lid with the other.
🧠 Nose + Ear — practices cross-body coordination, which we use for movements like reaching across for a seat belt or putting on a jacket.

Between our Brain + Body challenges, we’ll keep moving with easy, low-impact exercises to make this a fun workout for your body AND your brain.

I’ll demonstrate the standing exercises while Mom shows you seated options, so choose what works best for you. You can also keep a sturdy chair nearby for additional support.
