Movement Experience Design
From Principles to Practice
Full workshop · 4 hours
Move beyond exercise selection to explore the experience people are having. This interactive workshop gives fitness, recreation, activity, and wellness staff practical ways to build confidence, choice, appropriate challenge, and belonging into a session.
- Recognize abilities, interests, and goals before making assumptions about age.
- Use language that supports autonomy and respond thoughtfully to “I can’t,” “I’m too old,” or fear of falling.
- Offer meaningful choices and challenges that help participants build evidence of what they can do.
- Create opportunities for fun, friendship, and contribution.
- Apply the ideas to a real class, participant conversation, or program situation.
Includes a digital copy of The Modern Guide to Movement Leadership for Older Adults for each registered participant, plus planning and implementation resources.
Available in person or virtually. The four-hour workshop can be split into two two-hour virtual sessions. Shorter, focused versions can be arranged.
