Attending fitness classes, water aerobics, or simply utilizing workout equipment is important to overall health, but can also assist in staying fit and mobile as one ages. At Elements Wellness centers, find your center of balance. According to a Harvard Health article, older adults over the age of 65 who regularly exercise can decrease their likelihood of falling by 23% (Health.Harvard.edu, 2019). In the aging population, exercise has also been shown to prevent disease, improve mental health and well-being, strengthen social ties, and improve cognitive function.
