Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Melalui Program Senam Lansia di RT 3 RW 1 Kelurahan Sawah Lebar

Abstract

This community service activity through the Real Work Lecture (KKN) program was carried out in RT 3 RW 1, Sawah Lebar Village, Bengkulu City. This activity aims to improve the physical health and psychological well-being of the elderly group (lansia) through an elderly exercise program. Problems faced include the lack of programmed physical activity for the elderly and limited socialization among elderly residents, which can trigger boredom and decline in body function. The activity implementation method uses a participatory approach that includes observation, program planning, socialization, implementation of joint exercise activities, mentoring, and evaluation. The results of the activity show an increase in enthusiasm and awareness of the elderly in maintaining physical fitness. Through regular exercise, the elderly feel fitter and have fewer minor health complaints. This activity makes a positive contribution to creating a healthy, productive, and happy elderly community at the RT level through community empowerment
