Just because many in-person exercise classes have been cancelled due to social distancing and stay-at-home orders, doesn’t mean that group exercise should stop! Try our teleLOUD for LIFE and teleBIG for LIFE exercise groups for FREE every Friday this June.
What are teleLOUD for LIFE and teleBIG for LIFE?
teleLOUD for LIFE and teleBIG for LIFE are internet-based (Zoom), live, group exercise classes for those who have already completed all 16 sessions of the full LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG treatment programs. The classes are led by speech-language pathologists or physical or occupational therapists who are LSVT LOUD/LSVT BIG Certified and trained to lead LOUD for LIFE or BIG for LIFE classes.
These classes incorporate LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG daily exercises, but they are so much more than just “exercise!” The focus is on putting your louder voice and bigger movements into real-world functional activities and goals. The interactive format allows you to work on your skills with people from across the country and around the world. teleLOUD for LIFE classes have incorporated “show and tell” of pets or art and fun breakout small group activities – all done virtually! teleBIG for LIFE classes have included the practice of movements related to gardening, dressing, and more! You can also contribute to the class content and provide suggestions for activities you would like to see the class do.
Who can participate in teleLOUD for LIFE and teleBIG for LIFE classes?
These classes are for people who have previously completed all 16 sessions (4 times per week for 4 weeks) of the full LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG treatment programs. Participants should also be medically safe to exercise.
