Osteoporosis is not just a problem for older people. Many adults are unaware of their risk until it is too late. Bones become weak and brittle, which makes simple falls turn into broken bones. It can stop people from working, moving well, or living happily.

Arthritis can make life harder, especially for older adults. Pain in the joints can limit a person's mobility. But not moving makes things worse. Movement is medicine. Gentle exercise is one of the safest ways to alleviate joint pain and maintain overall body strength. The problem is that many seniors are unsure of what exercises are safe and sound. This leads to either doing nothing or doing too much.
