Estelle Futterman has spent her entire life being active and athletic. Golf. Tennis. Basketball and handball. You name the sport, she’s tried it – and likely excelled at it.

“I used to be able to play 18 holes of golf – but now I’ll play 9,” says the 86 year-old Futterman. “Maintaining my cardio fitness has become harder as I age.” Fortunately for Futterman – and the rest of her fellow residents at Sinai residence in Boca Raton – c community recently installed are unique, high-tech, digital “exergaming” and fitness platform called multiball – or, as residents have taken to calling it, “wall ball.”
