Physical Activity

Regular physical exercise keeps older adults healthy and independent longer.

Experts recommend older adults engage in moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes five days a week. But statistics show that less than a third of Americans aged 65+ meet this level.

We help community organizations offer fun and proven programs that keep older adults moving.
