For many older adults, the idea of starting an exercise routine can feel intimidating—especially if you’ve never done it before. Maybe you’re recovering from illness, managing chronic pain, or simply haven’t found an activity that feels safe and supportive. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Summit Health Solutions Telehealth Group Exercise Program, we specialise in helping people move with confidence, no matter where they’re starting from. Whether you’ve never exercised before or it’s been a while, we provide everything you need to feel supported, stay safe, and enjoy real progress—from the comfort of your own home.
🌱 Why Movement Matters—Even If You’re New to It
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), regular physical activity can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, while improving mental health and quality of life. The Mayo Clinic adds that even short sessions of movement can help with balance, coordination, and mood. The Australian Government recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days for adults, emphasizing that any movement is better than none.
Even light, consistent movement can help you:
-
Relieve stiffness and joint pain
-
Improve posture and core strength
-
Reduce the risk of falls and injury
-
Boost energy and mood
-
Improve sleep and reduce anxiety
-
Feel more confident in daily life
And just as importantly, our group sessions offer a sense of connection—something that’s just as vital to health as physical fitness.
Still, knowing the benefits doesn’t always make it easier to begin. That’s where we come in.
💬 “I Thought I Was Too Old to Start…”
We hear that a lot. But we’ve seen dozens of participants, aged 60 to 90+, who began with no prior exercise experience. Over time, they built confidence, reduced stiffness, improved balance—and even made new friends.
One participant shared:
“I started slowly and stayed in my chair at first. After a few weeks, I was moving more freely, breathing better, and looking forward to each session. I never thought I’d enjoy exercise—but I do now.”
🛑 Worried About Injury or Overdoing It?
That’s a valid concern—and one we take seriously. Our sessions are led by trained exercise physiologists and movement specialists who adjust each activity based on participants’ needs. Movements are safe, simple, and low-impact, and we always encourage pacing and listening to your body.
The Australian Department of Health recommends that older adults engage in regular movement that includes strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance—modified appropriately for health status and ability.
Our program isn’t about pushing yourself to extremes. It’s about building a routine that fits your body, your life, and your goals. With flexible options—like recorded videos you can do anytime—you’ll never feel left behind.
