Strengthening your core is important at any age. However, a strong core becomes even more vital to our health and longevity in our senior years. The core muscles help to keep us stable, upright, and supported through everyday movement.
Certain age-related changes, like vision loss or vestibular system deterioration in the inner ear, can begin to affect our balance as we get older. While falls become much more common for those over 60, strong core muscles can help improve balance and reduce the chances of serious injury.
