As we age, our bodies naturally undergo changes—muscle mass declines, bone density decreases, joint mobility can shrink, and recovery takes longer. Choosing the right exercises helps maintain fitness, prevent injury, and improve quality of life.

Low-impact exercise is important for maintaining health, protecting the body, and staying active without putting excessive stress on joints.

Even if you don’t love traditional exercise, you’re probably moving your body more than you realize. There’s a term called NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis), which encompasses all the everyday activities that burn calories outside of formal workouts — like cleaning, walking, gardening, and even fidgeting.
