Why Staying Active Matters After 70
Regular movement improves balance, reduces the risk of falls, strengthens the heart, and supports brain health. Exercise also boosts mood and helps maintain healthy weight. For seniors, the focus is not on intensity but on safe, effective routines that enhance daily living.
Safe and Enjoyable Fitness Options
- Walking: daily short walks build stamina and maintain mobility
- Gentle stretching: improves flexibility and reduces stiffness
- Balance exercises: simple routines reduce fall risks
- Light strength training: using resistance bands or light weights preserves muscle strength
- Group classes: safe, supervised sessions add social connection and motivation
Many of these activities can be enjoyed as part of our TOTALCARE activities, designed to combine movement with community interaction.
