Senior Fitness: 04/20/2012

Senior Fitness

Senior fitness is increasingly being focused on in the health insurance community. There is documented and researched proof that senior citizens and those that are retired are less likely to fall when they have a regular exercise program added to their daily living. One such program is great for those who wish to enhance their life by adding exercise into their's, and this program is SilverSneakers by Healthways. I am a SilverSneakers certified instructor so I can personally can attest to the fact that there are demonstrable improvements in my client's lifestyles and everyday living activities. Being "old" is not an excuse for not being "active" anymore.


This is what SilverSneakers Has to say about their program:
