It involves raising the heart rate so that the heart works harder to pump blood through the body. It’s particularly good for your heart health.RESISTANCE/STRENGTH EXERCISEResistance exercise helps strengthen muscles, bones and joints. It’s a good activity especially if you have or are at risk of bone-thinning problems.FLEXIBILITY EXERCISE Having flexible joints is important as it helps prevent injury. Simple stretching exercises can be a good way to start exercise.BALANCE EXERCISEThe focus of balance training is teaching the brain how to quickly activate the right muscles at the right time to keep you upright.
