Health Tip

As people age, they naturally lose muscle mass, so it’s important to strength train to stay healthy and strong. If there’s only time for one exercise, do a set set of squats. Squats strengthen legs, and glutes, as well as lower back and core muscles. Those muscles provide the foundation for most daily activities such as climbing a set of stairs or standing up from a chair.
