The Importance of Excercising as an Older Adult
As you age, the benefits of exercise are more important than ever. Staying physically active can help prevent or delay many disabilities and can improve the health of older adults. An inactive lifestyle can cause older adults to lose ground in four important areas for staying healthy; strength, balance, flexibility and endurance.

Today, older adults are realizing that they can take an active role in maintaining and improving their quality of life and health through regular exercise. We support this positive movement by offering exercise solutions that are innovative, entertaining, measurable and fun based around a wellness lifestyle.

Upwardly Mobile understands the challenges of creating a friendly and welcoming environment where individuals will feel empowered to take control of their health and well being. We work closely with you as partners and design a program that will be non-intimidating, effective and also fun for adults at any age.
