I also would add that perhaps a different bracelet could be developed that would be easier to close for someone with arthritis. The updates suggested above and this one could be added by the user is so desired.

Maybe they would work better as individual options so you can choose what suits you for example I have multiple disabilities that mean that I would definitely use the low intensity exercise and medication tracker but I like the menstruation tracker enabled.

So far, Fitbit works for me as is, but I see the value in having a set up for seniors who are not as able as I am. I also like the idea of an easier bracelet. Monitors that are specific to seniors would be good. I use the sleep and heart information, and I wonder if there are differences for seniors in that section?

Please include exercise programs for people with arthritis. There are so many people that want and need this. Typical exercises do not work for us.

People have been asking since 2019. Why hasn’t there been anything done?

That’s not a good answer. Please ask your management

Yojana: Where is that "similar request" posted please? My subscription is about to expire, and if there's no change in the status I won't be renewing.

Please add some senior citizen workouts on your premium workouts. The ones you have are all for young people v

Hi @Carrien59, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about the possibility of having a Senior Citizen section with specific workouts with the Premium subscription. I noticed that a similar feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here, this helps to keeps the boards more organized. Make sure to add your vote as well to support this suggestion, this helps the team of developers to keep track of popularity and demand over time. 

Thank you again for your participation in the Community.

The initial post was about 2 years ago. Has there been any changes to develop something for seniors? Apple has some but I can't get those free like I can the Fitbit Premium. Are there any plans?
