The article considers the implementation of the pedagogical principle of consciousness and activity in classes on health physical culture in combination with elements of Scandinavian walking. Special attention is paid to improving the coordination of patients in the standing position, securing the correct walking pattern and preventing fall risks, strengthening the muscles of the hands and upper shoulder girdle. Classes were of a combined nature and consisted of a theoretical and practical part, the main goal of which was to form a stable idea of the need for regular and systematic classes not only in a group with a coach, but also independently. As subjects, 20 men and 20 women aged 65 to 72 years, engaged in the Moscow Longevity program, took part. The groups selected those involved who had previously suffered an acute cerebral circulation disorder, and now are at a late stage of recovery from the condition.
