As always, the BLUME Festival Week also includes an extensive offer for the "Best Ager", which is summarized in the fitness industry under "50+ ". For this particularly active group of dynamic seniors, BLUME offers variable workshop with imaginative content.
For example, the world's oldest competitive gymnast Johanna Quaas from Halle / Sa in Germyny took the opportunity to gradually regain her amazing ability in spite of her biceps tendon rupture in early November, and a few days after her 93rd birthday.
