Maximize Independence with Fitness for Older Adults
Fitness is crucial for older adults to maintain independence. Regular exercise can improve strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility, which are essential for performing everyday tasks and remaining independent. One of the main benefits of physical activity for older adults is the reduced risk of falls. Our balance and coordination can decline as we age, increasing the risk of falls and related injuries. Exercise, including balance and strength training, can help to improve these skills and reduce the risk of falls.
