The earlier we start to exercise, the better! In addition to fitness improvements in strength and endurance, ongoing research tells us that exercise may also:

Improve memory
Speed up ourreaction times
Improve balance
Increase our flexibility
Increase bone strength and protect against fractures
Improve our psychological health
And improve quality of life overall
Qualityof life can be improved in several ways. First of all, through exercise we take control of our health. Our thought processes can become more clear. Improvements in balance and coordination canhelp us to live independently in our homes longer and improved reaction times can mean that we are able to continue to drive safely.
Exercising in a social setting can help alleviate lonelinessand give us a more positive outlook on life. Participating in dance or exercise classes at a senior or community center, the YMCA, or in your residential facility can help to re-energize us. Simplyscheduling walks with friends can make exercise more fun and provide more healthy social interaction. Staying engaged in life via exercise, or other hobbies and volunteer activities, gives lifemeaning and provides structure. We feel more alive when we have someplace to go and people waiting for us to arrive!
