Staying fit is important for people of every age. For seniors, it can be especially important during rehabilitation after strokes, heart attacks, falls and other injuries. Active seniors worldwide have begun to exercise daily to improve their mobility and fitness level. Exercising for seniors targets specific muscle groups and needs to involve cardiac and mobility safety. Benefits of fitness include lower chances of injury, improved mood and health, and lower chances of chronic disease.
