Strength and Fitness for Active Aging

Improve your functional ability through a full body mobility and strength training program!

If you are seeking to improve your mobility, strength, and general cardiovascular fitness as you age, this 4-week program will guide you in safely and effectively targeting upper and lower body and core movements. With a variety of Queenax apps and optionals, you will progressively challenge flexibility, upper and lower body pushing and pulling, core, and heart rate through play based exercises. Below is a list of what equipment is needed for your workouts. While a few of these movements are unique to Superfunctional, many can be performed with other suspension fitness products such as TRX® or CrossCore®.

Equipment Needed

  • Queenax
  • Superfunctional
  • Mobile Parallels
  • Torso Trainer
  • Up Strength
  • Strong++
  • Plyo Platform


Workout Recommendations

  • Ensure that you complete the warm-up and cool-down for each workout.
  • Perform each workout 2 times/week, allowing 1-3 days of recovery between workouts.
  • Follow the work and recovery intervals as listed. However, listen to your body. Take short rest periods as needed during work intervals to ensure proper exercise technique and safety. You also may increase recovery interval length after a specific movement, if needed. Strive for quality over quantity of movement when completing this program!
