Here at AgeHIGH, working out and staying fit isn’t just about looking and feeling good in the now. It’s about building a physical and mental foundation to keep you active and healthy for years to come.

With that said, an obvious key ingredient to maintaining an active lifestyle is your mobility. Losing it can have a massively detrimental effect on your life.

Not only does losing your mobility put you at an increased risk for depression, but in a recent study, losing it has been shown to decrease your life expectancy by as much as ten years.

The reality, someday those little movements we take for granted, like climbing stairs, or walking the dog will become more difficult, and eventually impossible to perform.

Here’s the good news. With training, your balance, and your ability to get around can be improved.

We’ve all heard the expression “use it or lose it.” In an effort to extend my years of independence, I now work out my balancing skills daily.
