However, with the Covid situation, some people may not want to go to the gym and<br \/>wonder what is available instead.<\/p>\n<p>Most Medicare Advantage plans offer \u201cno-cost\u201d gym memberships as a value-added benefit. But for those who do not want to go to a gym, insurance carriers provide health incentives as an option to exercise. These incentives could include a no-cost home fitness kit, online workout videos, or live-streaming fitness classes. For example, when looking at what was available online, I found a live-streaming class offering European Folk dances one day. With the internet, your choices<br \/>are almost limitless.<\/p>\n<p>There was a program on PBS entitled \u201cSit and Be Fit.\u201d It was created in the mid-1980s by Mary Wilson, a nurse specializing in geriatric medicine. In these episodes, you could follow along if you were ambulatory or if in a wheelchair, engage while seated. There were almost 400 recordings of the show. You can still purchase them online or view them on YouTube. These gentle movement exercises can benefit almost anyone.<\/p>\n<p>To find out what exercise options are available on your Medicare plan, simply call the Member Service number on the back of your ID card.<\/p>\n<p><em>Information sourced from: Mayo Clinic\/Healthline<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That is the question!We all agree that exercise is one of the most important factors in keeping healthy.
