- Maintaining a physically active lifestyle helps prevent dozens of diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer.
- By performing gait and balance activities, falls can reduce by 40%.
- Weight-bearing and resistance activities can help prevent osteoporosis.
- Strength training doesn’t just improve your muscles; it can also improve sleep quality, depression and overall quality of life.
- Regular brain stimulating activities are also available which can improve memory ability.
