1 in 4 adults over 65 experience a fall each year, but most falls are preventable. This , we’re reminding older adults that staying active can help you stay strong, steady, and confident.
A few ways to help reduce your risk of falling:
🏃 Build strength and balance through regular physical activity
🏠 Reduce hazards at home, such as loose rugs and clutter
💬 Talk with your doctor about medications that may cause dizziness or affect your balance
Plus, the Y is here to help, too! Enhance®Fitness is an evidence-based group exercise program designed specifically for older adults, with exercises focused on cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and balance.

Falls don’t have to be part of aging. Together, we can stay strong today for a steady tomorrow. 💙
