Fitness for Seniors

As we age, changes naturally occur in our bodies. However, many of the changes that are observable in many seniors are the result of poor diet and lack of exercise in addition to advancing age. With all the labor saving devices of our modern world, at age 70, some people have done little physical exercise for nearly 50 years. Much of their muscles have merely atrophied from lack of us. Fortunately, much of this process can be reversed with a carefully defined program.

Similarly many seniors experience problems with their balance. We have a series of simple exercises that in extreme cases can be done in a chair to improve balance. As the member's abilities increases, the exercises will gradually transition to being done standing and walking. Our facility has a fully padded floor that is unique in the Houston, Clear Lake and Galveston region for this type of program, so that chance of injury is minimized if someone does fall.
