Workouts

Muscle-strengthening activity can be done using body weight for resistance, elastic bands, dumbbells, or weights. It is important to work all the major muscle groups of the body such as the legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms.

Balance is used in daily functions such as walking and going up and down stairs. Practicing and maintaining good balance can make these daily functions easier and prevent falls, especially as people age.
