Senior Fitness Camp training is paced the same way as any other exercise population.

That is by starting the Senior Fitness Camp at the level of the participants and progressing from that baseline. After establishing baseline exercise performance, the Senior Fitness Camp results can be proven to the participants to further personal goal setting.

Most older adults join a Senior Fitness Camp with a goal to lose weight.

Shortly afterward, determination of clear-cut short and long-term goals will accelerate progress. Senior Fitness Camp goals must include balance training, strength and cardio conditioning. 

Personal goal attainment at the Senior Fitness Camp may make it possible to qualify for medical release from certain medications. Many senior prescriptions are the cause of side effects such as weight gain, dizziness, and loss of equilibrium. Fall prevention and the ability to get down on the floor with grandchildren and be able to get back up again without assistance is another goal driven need.
