Abstract
Get ready to get moving in this demo class! The SAIL program (Stay Active and Independent for Life) is an evidence-based physical activity program for adults aged 65 and older that can be modified for various physical activity levels. The program typically meets two times a week in person with a certified instructor. The class follows a standard format of a warm up, aerobic activity, strength training and cool down and has proven to provide physical health, mental health and social benefits for participants. When the pandemic hit Tennessee in late February, early March, a need developed for a virtual format to continue to engage older adults, and also to encourage social support and continued participation in recommended physical activity during a time of social isolation.
