Free Petaluma Bingocize Class Offers Fun and Falls Prevention

Falls are the #1 reason older adults end up in the emergency room. A free, Bingocize class series will teach adults age 60+ how to reduce their risk of falling by increasing strength balance and range of motion. Classes combine a fun game of Bingo with simple seated and standing exercises and falls prevention education to keep adults safely on their feet. All ability levels are welcome.
