Our videos are specially designed to help older people and care home residents improve their mobility and have fun at the same time.
We create fun, easy-to-follow videos to get people moving more, every day, as well as exclusive performances designed for older people and those living with dementia. Our movement videos are choreographed by dance and movement specialists to get people at all levels of mobility moving their bodies safely and effectively. All our videos are available digitally for you to watch via a simple, affordable subscription service.

Residents in care homes are sedentary for an average of 79% of their waking hours.*
It’s no secret that maintaining mobility is crucial to health and wellbeing as we age.
Moving doesn’t have to be a chore and we’ve made every exercise fun for all.

Our videos come in three types. On the Move videos get you moving every day. Big Nights In features performances for a social setting. And Special Features teach a mix of skills and activities.
These short videos will get you moving more every day. Whether you decide to spend just five minutes, or to combine several videos into a longer session, you’ll feel the benefits.
Our Big Night In video performances are for everybody to enjoy – from classical music to folk songs, puppetry to live recordings of bands.
We also offer a range of sessions that introduce you to specific skills, with courses ranging from art to Tai Chi.

We know care homes don’t always have superfast WIFI or cutting-edge devices. So, our videos are designed to work from domestic quality laptops, tablets and smartphones, simply plugged into your screen.

We’re here to help carers and care home staff offer the support older people need to improve their mobility safely and enjoyably.
Moving more is the best way to improve mobility, and we see no reason why it shouldn’t be joyous and fun?
Are your exercises suitable for everybody
We know that older people have varying levels of mobility and fitness, and so we have created a wide range of seated exercises that can easily be modified to suit individual abilities. We include gentler choices for those with limited mobility, incorporating low-impact workouts, balance exercises and strength training. That way, users can choose the movements that are suitable and safe for their current level of fitness. We also suggest ways to modify exercises or offer alternatives where we think that will be beneficial. Many of our videos can also be adapted for dementia settings – if in doubt contact us to ask how: info@zestactivearts.org.
The NHS recommends older adults do some type of physical activity every day to improve their health and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. If it is not possible to do this due to a chronic condition, they should be as active as their ability and conditions allow. For those who have not exercised for some time, have concerns or medical conditions, a GP or healthcare professional can provide guidance.
