Fall Prevention

1 in 4 Americans aged 65+ falls each year. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall.  Physical activity can go a long way toward fall prevention. 

Consider activities such as walking, water workouts or tai chi. Such activities reduce the risk of falls by improving strength, balance, coordination and flexibility.

Aging Strong Program in the YMCA 

The YMCA Aging Strong Program is designed to help older adults improve health outcomes, increase socialization and maintain independent living. Programming includes group fitness along with activities to promote socialization, mental fitness and fall prevention.
