As we age, the benefits of exercise are more important than ever. Research is emerging that proves people of all ages and physical conditions benefit from exercise and physical activity. Staying physically active can help prevent or delay many diseases and disabilities and can improve the health of seniors who are frail or have age accompanying diseases. Studies have shown that older adults hurt their health far more by not exercising than by exercising. An inactive lifestyle can cause seniors to lose ground in four important areas necessary for staying healthy: strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. Not only can they help increase their quality of life and life expectancy, new research suggests that regular physical activity and a consistent exercise program can reduce their risk of developing age-related dementia.

Robb McGuffin, Business Developer for Technogym USA, explains, AegisLiving understands the value and potential to provide an environment that promotes the principles of successful aging at their communities. Technogyms foundation of wellness is centered on exercise, healthy lifestyle habits and a positive approach to life. Providing these services and utilizing Technogyms capabilities will be a great asset to AegisLiving. They clearly understand the value of first class hospitality and combining that vision with a wellness mission makes them a defining leader in the industry and the perfect partner for Technogym.
