Got Game? Cedars-Sinai Launches Bingocize

WHAT

Looking for a fun way to exercise while upping your gamesmanship? Cedars-Sinai's Forever Fit program is introducing a new free exercise program for older adults called Bingocize.

Bingocize combines the game of Bingo with various exercises tailored to older people, such as range-of-motion, balance, muscle-strengthening, and endurance exercises. In addition, the program offers health tips focused on fall prevention.

"By combining the fun of bingo with exercises that promote health and well-being, we aim to engage seniors in a unique and enjoyable way that supports their physical and mental health," said Jonathan Vickburg, LMFT, associate director of Community Health Improvement at Cedars-Sinai.

The 10-week program offers one-hour classes twice a week. Classes are currently held in a community center in Koreatown and Cedars-Sinai plans to expand the program to other neighborhoods soon.

WHO

Interviews are available with Bingocize participants and program instructors. Many of the participants are fluent in Korean, Spanish, and English.
