A Senior Planet trainer at the center will facilitate your questions followed by a live demo of related technologies and apps.

This month’s subject matter expert will focus on strength and mobility!

Did you know that we lose muscle mass starting at age 30 and that loss accelerates after age 60?  This loss of muscle and strength is what leads to falls, diseases of aging (such as type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis), a reduced quality of life, and ultimately a loss of independence.  But there is something that we can do about it!  Exercise, including aerobic conditioning and strength training, will improve your balance, your mobility, your bone density, help ward off those diseases of aging, and even improves mood, sleep, and brain health!  Exercise has been shown to be one of the most significant factors in maintaining a high quality of life and independence as we age, yet less than 20% of older adults meet the CDC guidelines.  How can we safely and effectively incorporate this into our lives and routines and stick with it? Learn ways to foster behavioral change and make exercise a habit, even in a virtual world.
