Dani indicated that there are new developments in the fitness industry, especially with regard to older people.  New research indicates that new brain cells are being produced all the time, even in older people.
There are many ways to stay fit. They key is to find what works for you.  People think they can’t improve their fitness when they get older, but no matter old you are, you can always get stronger.  Older adults get more benefit from High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) than younger people.
Strength training is also very important for older people.  Power training (adding velocity to the movements) is even more effective and should be included with strength training.  This training helps to prevent falls and also speeds up the recovery from a fall.
We did several exercises at our tables, including several types of moving in place, holding and moving chopsticks around with the help of a partner using only one finger, and tossing beanbags while catching a return beanbag with a specified hand (left or right).
