The program
Who made the program?
Accredited, qualified professionals, led by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist. There is no AI in the program: every exercise, test and plan was made by a qualified person. Our team has worked with over 1,000 older adults.
Who is it for?
Older adults who want to move more easily. No experience needed: you start at your own level.
What does a week look like?
Strength and balance on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; walking or running on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; a stretch on Sunday.
How does the assessment work?
About 20 minutes. For each of seven movements you watch a video and pick the hardest exercise you can do safely. A few questions then set your walking or running plan.
What happens after 12 weeks?
You reassess, get a report card, and can start another 12 weeks from your new levels.
Do I need equipment?
A resistance band, a sturdy chair and walking shoes. Light weights are optional.
What if I miss a day?
Just pick up with today's session. Two streak pauses a month protect your day streak.
Safety
Is it safe for me?
Nine health questions come first. If any answer suggests seeing a doctor, the app asks for clearance before you go on.
What if an exercise hurts?
Stop. Mild soreness the next day is normal; sharp or joint pain, chest pain or dizziness is not. In an emergency, call 000. Press "Too hard" to ease the program back.
I have a health condition. Can I take part?
Usually. The health questions at the start check that the program is safe for you. The Guided plan includes a session with our team at the start and at week 12, and email support.
The app
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, on any phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to download. An iPhone app is on the way.
Can I talk to a real person?
Yes. Book a consultation with the Independent Movers team. Consultations are online, by Zoom video call, so you can join from home.
Can others see my progress?
Only friends you choose to share with. Your health answers are never shared.
