This page explains how it works. The tool itself is inside your SeniorThrive account.
Exercise does not have to be a trip to the gym or a half-hour of sweating. For most of us, the good stuff is shorter and gentler. Ten minutes of chair yoga. A standing balance routine while the coffee brews. A few stretches before bed.
SeniorThrive's library finds YouTube videos for each category. Pick the category that fits today, narrow it by position, intensity and length if you like, and tap a video to play it. No separate app to buy.
Fitness Videos is part of Essential, and pauses on the Free plan.
Where to find it

Start Here (four featured categories)
If you are new to exercising at home, these four are the gentlest starting points.
Chair Yoga. Yoga you do sitting down.
Seated Exercises. Full-body workouts from a chair, broader than chair yoga.

Flexibility & Stretching. Loosening stiff shoulders, hips and backs.
The rest of the library

How to pick a video
Each video shows its length. Pick a category that matches your day, browse the videos inside, and tap one that looks right for you. If you like to read along, you can choose to see only videos with captions. Save favorites for next time.
Before you start
Check with your doctor before starting anything new, and start gentler than you think you need to.
A rhythm, not a streak
The goal is not to work out every day. The goal is to build a gentle rhythm you can keep for years.
