Weight loss programs

Many issues seem to divert seniors from exercising properly. A lack of mobility is the most used excuse. However, the ICAA provides documentation from Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 19(4) (August 2007), which seems to tear down some of these barriers which make exercising over 70 feel taboo. The authors of the study found successful results, stating that “the results of the present study show that one year of combined exercise training is well-tolerated and improves aerobic capacity, performance on field tests and muscle strength in healthy subjects over 70 years old.”

At any rate, this is an interesting read, and it can be found at the link below:
