Two physical therapists talk about staying active as we age. Vicki Habecker interviews Judy Hendry about ideas to keep our bodies in the best physical shape that our limitations will allow. Listen and learn some practical advice from two PT's.
Judy emphasizes maintaining daily activities, social engagement, and exercise to prevent decline. She advises against over-assistance from family, suggesting older adults continue their usual routines. For those with orthopedic issues, she recommends range-of-motion exercises and walking with aids if necessary. For non-ambulatory individuals, she suggests upper body and core exercises. Judy also highlights the benefits of having a buddy for accountability and the positive impact of music on dementia patients. She advocates for morning exercise routines for better consistency.
"Finishing Well Ministries aims to encourage and inspire aging Christians to understand and embrace God’s calling in their later years, equipping them to actively pursue and fulfill His calling. FWM provides materials, events, and other on-line resources that provide shared insights focused on finishing our lives well. We also recruit and train volunteers who lead and encourage small groups around the world to fulfill God’s mission for them in these critically important years." - Hal Habecker
