Healthy Aging Programs
Risks associated with advancing age may actually
be reversed!
Imagine being 82 with limited mobility and balance,
falling to the ground and not being able to get up! Fear of falling
and bone fractures is a great concern for seniors in this age group.
Imagine that same 82 year-old taking a 12-week strength training
course, walking without a cane, able to stand and balance on one
leg and easily get up.
Healthy Aging (what we also call Successful Aging)
comes in many shapes and forms. Seniors are living longer and improving
their health and quality of life by including physical, mental and
social activity in their daily lives.
CVAA is seriously committed to spreading the message
of Healthy Aging to our seniors. Physical activity classes are offered
all over our four county area.
