At Ann’s Choice, a senior living community in Bucks County, Pa., the introduction of Drums Alive classes has marked a significant step towards promoting physical health, cognitive function, and social interaction among its residents. The program, which integrates aerobic exercise with rhythmic drumming, has quickly become a cornerstone of the community’s wellness initiatives.

Fitness Coordinator Kathleen Mish highlights the program’s appeal, noting its rapid growth from a small group of participants to classes that are now in high demand, often with waiting lists. The classes are designed to be inclusive, catering to seniors of all physical and cognitive abilities, with options for standing, seated, or hybrid participation. This adaptability ensures that every resident has the opportunity to engage in the program, regardless of their mobility level.

The health benefits of Drums Alive are manifold, ranging from improved cardiovascular health and enhanced mobility to strengthened muscles and joints. Tara Beach, the fitness manager at Ann’s Choice, points out the cognitive advantages, such as increased concentration and delayed cognitive decline, attributed to the neurological stimulation from drumming. These benefits are complemented by the social aspect of the program, which fosters a sense of community and teamwork among participants.

Residents like Ruth Worms attest to the program’s success, emphasizing the joy and camaraderie it brings. The instructors’ enthusiasm and the dynamic nature of the classes, with regularly updated music and routines, keep the sessions fresh and engaging. As the program continues to grow, Ann’s Choice looks forward to expanding its offerings, further enriching the lives of its residents through innovative and enjoyable fitness solutions.
