Boomers, seniors, and 50-plus, older adults can benefit from exercise and daily activity. According to the International Council for Active Aging (ICAA), “the concept of active aging is summed up in the phrase—engaged in life.” Participating in life to the best of our abilities as we age can mean many different things. Strength training to prevent osteoporosis and keep or increase muscle strength, balance training to prevent falls and increase proprioceptive awareness and mobility, stretching and core exercises to maintain flexibility and relieve joint stiffness, daily movement and aerobic activity to keep the heart strong and improve cardiovascular fitness and control weight.
