In this episode, we talked about exercise and its benefits to our aging parents. According to CDC, exercising reduces the risk of various types of cancer, diabetes and other lifestyle-related diseases. Exercising is much more than the physical, it also has something to do with the attitude and mindset to push through and do more day after day.

Tune in to learn more about:

  • How our aging parents can maintain mobility and strength
  • Attitude and beliefs around exercise among the African-American community
  • Social opportunities through exercise sessions among the elderly
  • How to encourage and motivate our aging parents to exercise
