ACT Now for Fitness
SilverSneakers wants to help you take control of your health, and the first step to reaching your goals is creating a plan. To guide you on your journey, we suggest the ACT Now for Fitness plan - it will help you assess your health, choose your goals and track your fitness on your way to a healthier you. These three simple steps will help make your new lifestyle more manageable and will put your goals in reach.
How the ACT Now for Fitness plan works:
Assess your health and fitness
During enrollment, you'll complete a brief assessment on your current health condition and fitness activity level. This is the first step to your success.
Choose your goals, plan for success and take action
Also during enrollment, you'll select fitness goals that you believe will benefit you the most, and indicate if and how you’d like to receive your personal progress reports. Health and fitness experts agree that setting goals and writing them down is a powerful way to commit to successfully achieving your aspirations. By tracking your progress you increase the likelihood of reaching your goals.
Track your daily activity and monitor your progress
After registering, review the ACT Now for Fitness resources provided in the SilverSneakers member handbook. The handbook includes educational “Goal Cards” that define each goal, sample exercises and activities for your selected goal(s), and a 16-week exercise tracker that helps you to track your fitness activities.
