Exercise for Seniors

Exercise should be included as a component in multi-factorial interventions to prevent falls in community dwelling adults. Older adults, who are at risk for falling, should be offered an exercise program that incorporates strength, balance and gait training. Tai Chi and physical therapy are proven interventions for reducing falls.

Exercise programs for seniors in Clermont County include: Silver Sneakers at the Clermont YMCA and local Curves locations, Tai Chi classes at the Clermont Senior Services Lifelong Learning Center, Miami Athletic Club programs, Clermont County General Health District Senior Safety exercise programs and Zumba Gold at local churches and community centers.
