“Exercise Tips For The Elderly”includes chapters on: Examples for Exercise for Strength, Flexibility, and Balance, Moderation and Regular Exercise Are Beneficial, Decrease Your Chances, Why Else is Physical Activity Important and Wrapping Up. Generally, fit individuals as old as 90 can decrease their tendency to fall by up to fifty percent through physical activity and balance training.
