Abstract

It is a law of nature that every human being will age and the body's functions will change according to age. This is caused by the emergence of various physical, psychological and social problems due to degenerative processes experienced by the elderly. These problem conditions often lead to mental disorders in the elderly such as depression, and one alternative treatment is sports designed with special movements for the elderly, namely elderly gymnastics. The purpose of this service is to provide counseling and carry out elderly exercise to help the elderly realize the value of physical activity, one of which is elderly exercise which is useful for improving health and reducing the risk of depression. This service is aimed at the elderly in Karang Anyar Village, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency. The results of this service are expected to increase motivation for the elderly to want to do elderly exercise in order to avoid mental problems that are easily experienced by the elderly.
