Making exercise fun through drumming

For senior citizens, a good way to get some exercise is through group fitness classes like Drums Alive at the Matt Ross Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas.
Debbie Shearer teaches the class. She said introducing exercise into senior citizens’ routines is “part of staying alive.”

    I think it would be even more fun if they graduated to really large drums that give a huge sound. WOW!

    It should have something to do with rythm and music or it is just ridiculous.I tried it with dementia patients but it really seems like its only for upper body.They had fun despite me not being trained in the exercises by my supervisor.Without music I don't understand it though.

    @@veterandicer3691 There certainly wasn't anyone who put out more effort to become a great drummer than he did, after first learning drumming while in the hospital for two years with TB.
