BESTAge - A Better Fit for Older Adults

Prairieview offers the BESTAge program daily and Traverse Care
Center
offers the program three (3) times a day.

BestAge is dedicated to helping older adults achieve their optimal health
and wellbeing and to live life to the fullest at any age.

A unique approach to exercise, BESTAge emphasizes several key fitness
principles, including:

Balance/Flexibility - Focuses on increasing strength to improve balance
Endurance - Focuses on elevating metabolism
Strength - Focuses on strengthening and toning muscles
Training - Equipment and training techniques are used as appropriate

All of these can improve physical and mental health, muscle strength and
overall functioning in older adults.

Research shows us that regular exercise and strength training can
achieve important health benefits and prevent decline in health status.

BESTAge does so much more than improve health! It can also minimize
depression and anxiety, reduce likelihood of falls and accidents, decrease
body fat, increase range of motion, maintain bone health and muscle
mass, enhance mood and mental acuity, and improve overall functioning,
independence and quality of life.
