💨 Abstract

The article discusses the benefits of exercise for seniors, using the story of 80-year-old Joel Slaven, who had a heart attack during a bike ride but survived due to his fitness. Regular exercise is linked to better mental and physical health, reduced pain, and longer life. Recommended exercises for seniors include dancing, yard work, swimming, bicycling, pickleball, weight training, balance training, and interval training.
