10 Today is a set of short physical activity routines to help older people get moving and stretching. They’re great for boosting your mood and energy levels and improving balance and flexibility. With the 10 Today skill for Amazon Alexa, you can tailor activities to your own abilities and how you’re feeling day to day. You can dip in and out of the 10-minute sessions and take part standing up or sitting down. Either way, they’re designed to improve functional fitness to help you do the things you want to do. You can set reminders to join in regularly whenever it suits you. Just follow the sessions at your own pace, whatever feels good for you today.
How does it work?
Just ask Alexa to open 10 Today. You can find movements that support particular joints or muscle groups based on how you’re feeling and the personal benefits you want to achieve.
