Physical Fitness in the Golden Age Program

We are pleased to welcome you to the Physical Fitness in the Golden Age website; I manage this program on behalf of the University of Texas at El Paso’s Department of Kinesiology. We are thankful that you want to find out more about our program. This program is a joy project for me, which has passed from an idea to a community program. It impacts the lives of numerous older adults in El Paso. The program commenced by setting up a pilot program with about 30 seniors. It is now a nationally known program with ongoing support from the UTEP administration as well. UTEP is the most supportive institution that has a fully set-up exercise room for seniors who have enrolled in the program. This room provides exclusive space for seniors who wish to improve their fitness and health. We have a vision of opening more locations across El Paso and expanding beyond UTEP to give seniors easy access to the program. This program is essential because many older adults do not have the chance to exercise effectively and receive the support they need for healthy aging. The program aims to help older adults have a physically and mentally fit life. It allows them to maintain mobility, independence while attaining successful aging. Our program would not be possible without the support and great participation of many people. I need to thank the UTEP administration, students, and program participants who show immense support. Thank you, Paso Del Norte Health Foundation, through Ageless Health Initiative, the program was funded and launched. This program is the product of the generosity and commitment of the Paso Del Norte Health Foundation to create programs for healthy aging. We appreciate your support, and we stand to work with you to accomplish our goal. The success of this program lies and depends on all members cooperating. Trainers' selflessness and hard work are what we need for our program to traverse the region and reach as many older people susceptible to aging challenges in the Paso Del Norte Region.
