Kroc Center looking for seniors to participate in free Healthy Aging Programs

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The older you get, the more important it is to maintain mobility and keep up with physical exercise.

The Kroc Center in South Bend is looking to fill 40 spots for its free Healthy Aging Program beginning next month.

Registration for the 14-week program opened on Monday, with hopes of seeing seniors 62 and older sign up.

The Healthy Aging Programs start and end with a pre and post assessment, testing things like body strength, balance and flexibility.

The center is also offering fall prevention classes as part of a partnership with real services.

Those in the program don’t need to have a Kroc Center membership, but if you do enjoy your time at the facility, it does offer a lot of other activities and resources for seniors to consider sticking around for, like aerobics and silver sneakers classes, a fitness pool and more.

You can find more details about the program and registration information at the Kroc Center website.
