Staying active in your senior years is an important part in preventing the risk for certain diseases or managing a pre-existing condition. Wednesday, May 31 is the 24^th annual National Senior Health & Fitness Day®. The common goal for this day is to help keep older Americans healthy and fit.

If you have not been active in a while, start slowly. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine. We have the Polar BodyAge® fitness assessment that will provide you with accurate data to determine your current fitness level. Our fitness specialists will use your results to create a customized fitness plan. As you become stronger through a basic strength and aerobic routine, you can incorporate group exercise classes, personal training and a variety of fitness offerings we have at the Center to reach your goals.
