From a yoga pose to touching toes, a team of Extension Agents from the University of Tennessee provides guided movement opportunities to the communities they serve in West Tennessee. These programming efforts have been met with outstanding impacts among the lives of Tennesseans. This presentation will demonstrate how offering physical activity for various ability levels can turn non-traditional locations into makeshift fitness centers twice a week. Come learn about a variety of exercise programs available for Agents to be trained and become certified instructors, all while gaining strong partnerships to make group activities accessible to many people with physical or financial barriers. Participants will leave the session with a menu of fitness programs educators can integrate into their health programming, including the adaptations that make classes more inclusive.
