We are looking for senior citizens who want to enjoy a healthy and fit retirement
Movement tandems in the living environments of Chemnitz senior citizens in Hutholz, Morgenleite, Altchemnitz, Kaßberg, Reichenbrand and Grüna
Over 75-year-old residents of the city of Chemnitz are supported in
- adopting, promoting and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle in their living environment
- sustainably strengthening individual and community resources
The project started in July 2022 in the Hutholz and Morgenleite districts, with movement tandems in the neighbourhood consisting of a trained mentor (volunteer from the City of Chemnitz) and 3-4 senior citizens from the neighbourhood. Following an expansion to the Altchemnitz and Kaßberg districts, the project has also been active in the Reichenbrand and Grüna districts since July 2023.
The exercise tandems are organised very flexibly and individually; the times and meeting points vary depending on the residential area of the participants. You are welcome to enquire about the next dates with the coordinators (0371 531 19938). The movement tandems take place once a week at the beginning, later once a month in the direct neighbourhood of the residents.
Monthly group meetings with trained exercise instructors are also planned.
Funding is provided by the Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) with funds from the statutory health insurance funds as part of the GKV Alliance for Health (www.gkv-buendnis.de).
