Don't let advanced age slow you down!

When an older adult falls it can create a domino effect on their health. They may suffer a severe injury, like a hip fracture, leading to reduced mobility, reduced independence, and a greater chance of premature death. Even after recovering from a fall, some develop a fear of falling and will limit their activities. Cutting back on exercise and fitness often leads to a greater chance of falling.

Living an active life

We want you to live a healthy, safe, and independent life! To do that you need to keep moving. Fit and Fall Proof™ is an exercise-based fall prevention program. Local volunteers are trained to lead the classes and senior citizens are invited to attend from any of the surrounding communities. The exercises are simple and full of fun, especially because you can bring your friends.
