Launches Innovative Fitness Program For Elders
 It’s
a myth that older adults are fragile and cannot exercise.
That’s why Rogerson Communities launched Rogerson Fitness
FIRST at five sites around Greater Boston.
This innovative
fitness program allows participants to work with an exercise
physiologist on new, state-of-the-art Nautilus equipment designed
especially for elders.
Regular
physical activity for everyone, including elders, is a critical
element of an overall healthy lifestyle which can:
•
Extend years of independent living.
• Reduce disability and
• Improve the quality of life of older people
Rogerson
believes stongly in the availability of exercise and strength
training for elders. Research indicates numerous health benefits
for elders who exercise regularly, including increased balance,
protection against the onset of certain types of dementia,
and improved cognitive functioning.
