Join 60-year-old 2025 Senior Planet Sponsored Athlete, Arlette Godges, as she shares her wellness journey and leads basic exercises that can lay a foundation for healthy aging. These exercises will focus on endurance, strength, coordination, range of motion, and balance without the need for a gym. All you’ll need to follow along is a comfortable chair with a backrest, two rolls of toilet paper, and two medium-sized water bottles (20. oz).
