A MATTER OF BALANCE CLASSES
Falls are the second leading cause of accidental death in the US. Even if the fall does not result in hospitalization, fear of falling becomes a major factor. Fear leads to inactivity and loss of confidence decreasing the quality of life and increasing the risk of falls.
The Fall Prevention Classes at the Fairhaven Senior Center will focus on your activity and quality of life and help you maintain your health and independence as you age. Staying physically active helps you to keep moving, and stay strong. The inactivity makes your body age faster.
Think about these facts:
60% of older adults are inactive, sitting or lying for long periods is a serious health risk, (World Health Organization), inactivity leads to declining bone strength, muscle strength, heart and lung fitness and flexibility inactivity is as harmful to your health as smoking.
Let’s get active!
At home, in the community, with friends, on the way to and from activities, and here at the Fairhaven Senior Center.
