Bingocize

About

Started at Western Kentucky University, Bingocize® combines the game of bingo, exercise, and health education. Groups of participants play for six weeks, twice per week with 45–60-minute sessions. Exercises consist of range of motion, muscle strengthening, and endurance exercises or health education questions.

Bingocize® has partnered with KIHC to broaden participation to include individuals with disabilities, provide adaptive health opportunities, and create community partnerships.
