Creator description · original textText language: English
Walking is an excellent habit after 60, but it doesn't provide every type of physical challenge your body needs.
In this video, you'll learn the difference between aerobic activity and muscle-strengthening exercise, why maintaining strength matters for everyday tasks such as getting out of a chair, climbing stairs and carrying groceries, and how walking and strength work can complement each other.
You don't need to stop walking or spend hours in a gym. The goal is to build a more complete routine that includes endurance, muscle strengthening and balance.
