The probability of falling increases with age and physical fitness decline.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2002), one out of every 3 adults, 65 years or older, falls every year. Falls can be costly and debilitating, but they are NOT a natural part of aging, and can be avoided.
Not only is preventing falls good for the health of your residents, but it's also good for your community's reputation. Click the article at left to read press release success stories from previous years' events.
Choosing a lifestyle that includes regular cardiovascular, flexibility and strength training will help maintain not only overall general health, but balance health as well. Strong muscles improve the ability to respond to external disturbances in a positive manner, and improve posture. Flexible and strong joints allow further movement through a range of motion so that we are able to correct a loss of balance more easily. And regular cardiovascular training ensures a strong heart that can endure the normal activities of daily living.
The Live 2 B Healthy® program is proven to help seniors improve both balance and overall strength. 
Live 2 B Healthy® Trainers are all Certified Personal Trainers, experienced in working with the senior market. They are familiar with the special challenges that come with age, and they know how to customize specially-designed exercises to fit the specific needs of each community and each resident. If you are interested in scheduling a special Live 2 B Healthy® Fall Prevention Event in your community, please contact me!
