As adults age, muscles weaken, bones become more brittle and reaction time slows. It can be easy to trip and fall. In fact, nearly 3 million seniors visit the ER after a fall each year. Injuries can be life-changing as even a slight decline in independence affects lifestyle, routine and relationships.
The good news is that there are strategies to build muscle and improve balance and mobility. Experts say less than half of falls are inevitable, and regular exercise can significantly reduce fall risk.
