The program, aimed at the elderly, combines body weight, free weight and chair exercises designed to keep our elderly population active and functional. Former Gippsland resident Suzana Talevski presents the program which also screens every Tuesday morning on Channel 31 at 8.30am. "Being fit and healthy isn't just about weight loss or looking a certain way. It is so much more than that," the fitness presenter says. "It's about having a better quality of life, being more independent as you age and generally feeling good." The program focuses on exercises that help us in every day function," explains Suzana. "For example core work, working with your abdominal muscles, will assist in getting up out of bed easier, it helps in sitting up properly and with greater ease. We need strong triceps and biceps to lift every day item such as grocery bags or to reach for something in the cupboard. It really is a pleasure to be able to reach so many through the television show and make a difference in those who need it most. It is very exciting to launch the program on line so even more people can access it not only in Australia but now right around the world.' Ten episodes are now online and can be found on You Tube by searching Suzana Talevski
