Developing a simple, realistic plan to reduce sedentary time and increase physical activity can significantly improve overall health—especially for adults over 65. Light activity every 30 minutes, even small movements like stretching or doing housework, helps decompress the body’s organs and supports mobility.

Moderate aerobic exercise, along with strength, balance, and flexibility training, can prevent or even reverse frailty. The key is adapting movement to your current abilities and being consistent, not perfect.
