Staying active isn’t just about fitness—it’s about freedom, independence, and quality of life as we age. In this episode of The Senior Spotlight, host Mary Cordova sits down with Dr. Brian Ferris and Dr. Alex De Moraes, members of the Concierge Care Advisory Board, to discuss the profound impact of exercise on senior health.

Regular physical activity improves balance and mobility, reduces fall risks, enhances cognition and mental health, lowers the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes, and helps seniors maintain their independence longer. However, getting started can be challenging. Our experts share practical strategies for seniors of all fitness levels, from chair exercises to simple daily movement habits that can make a significant difference. They also address common exercise myths, provide safety tips, and discuss how social stereotypes around aging impact physical activity.

Listeners will learn how to safely start an exercise routine at any age, why movement is one of the most powerful tools for longevity, and what small, consistent habits can do for long-term health. The conversation also highlights ways to make fitness engaging and sustainable for seniors and caregivers alike.

It’s never too late to invest in health, mobility, and the future. Whether you are a senior looking to stay active, a caregiver encouraging a loved one, or a healthcare professional supporting aging adults, this episode provides valuable insights to help seniors move more and live better.
