Heart and Stroke Canada recommends that seniors and elder adults should add muscle and bone-strengthening activities using major muscle groups at least two days per week. Low impact exercise can help with this.
As we age, our bodies slow down. Exercise can become more difficult with each passing year. Ironically, the more we age, and the more challenging exercise becomes, the more we need to get our bodies moving to starve off disease and other health risks.
