Many older people think they're too old, too sick, or too weak to exercise, but this isn't true. Exercise is beneficial at any age. It strengthens muscles, prevents bone loss, improves balance, boosts mood and memory, and helps manage chronic conditions. Some believe exercise is unsafe, but it actually reduces fall risk and strengthens bones. Others think they need a doctor's approval just because of their age, but they can start slowly unless they have medical issues. Even those with chronic illnesses or disabilities can benefit from modified exercises. Time and cost are also common concerns, but short daily sessions and free activities like walking can be effective. Exercise doesn't have to be boring – find activities you enjoy, like dancing, gardening, or even playing with grandchildren.
