How are seniors using unconventional spaces to manage health conditions in Zimbabwe?

In Zimbabwe's capital, 65-year-old Nelly Mundandwa and fellow seniors have transformed a graveyard into a fitness hub where they conduct hour-long sessions of squats, lunges, and stretches to upbeat music. This daily routine has become much more than just exercise for participants like Mundandwa. For her, these workout sessions amidst gravestones serve as a crucial lifeline in managing diabetes. The Commandos Fitness Club not only helps seniors combat chronic health conditions but also provides motivation and community support in an area with limited access to conventional gym facilities, demonstrating their resilience and commitment to healthier aging.
