Benefits of physical activity

Benefits of the gym

Regular strength training at the gym can help seniors maintain and improve their muscle strength. Building and preserving muscle mass is crucial for mobility, balance and overall functionality. Workouts often include stretching exercises that improve flexibility and joint range of motion, which can reduce the risk of injuries.

Benefits of swimming

Swimming is an effective cardiovascular exercise that gets the heart rate up, improving overall cardiovascular health. It also engages the entire body, working various muscle groups simultaneously. By promoting overall muscular strength, swimming can enhance balance and stability.
