Why It Matters
Research consistently shows the power of staying active later in life:
- Adults over 65 who exercise regularly have up to a 30% lower risk of early death compared to those who are inactive (National Institute on Aging).
- Strength training just two times per week can improve bone density, reduce fall risk, and preserve independence (CDC).
- A Harvard study found that just 15 minutes of moderate activity per day can add up to 3 extra years of life expectancy.
- Exercise isn’t only physical—it’s mental. The Mayo Clinic notes that regular movement helps reduce anxiety and depression while boosting overall quality of life.
