As we get older, functional fitness becomes essential for staying independent for longer. When we talk about functional fitness, we’re referring to the everyday, multi-joint movements you make when you get up out of a chair, carry a heavy bag of groceries, or lift your grandchild out of the car seat.
Functional, weight-bearing exercises can strengthen the major muscle groups in the body, as well as the areas most prone to age-related fractures, helping prevent falls and injuries and keep you fit and healthy for longer.
