Balance
Balance basically means being able to stay upright and steady, whether you're still or moving. Being able to balance – along with muscle and bone strength – collectively are required with all physical activities we do.
Maintaining balance is crucial especially as we start to get older. Having good balance helps in preventing falls, injury, and simply making your daily activities easier to perform. Maintaining balance is a complex task that requires coordination from your muscles, tendons, bones, eyes, ears and brain.
Chronic Conditions
Physical activity contributes to prevention and management of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety, enhances brain health, and can improve overall well-being all of which contribute to a longer, healthier life.

Joint mobility and Muscle Flexibility
Mobility vs. flexibility
While mobility refers to how a joint moves, flexibility is the ability of a muscle to lengthen through its full range of motion. Mobility is an umbrella term for the many elements that contribute to a joint’s movement with full range of motion, including restricted muscle tissue, joints, the joint capsules, motor control, AND your soft tissue. Therefore, flexibility is part of a joint’s mobility.
Why this matters
Flexibility will benefit your joints by helping you achieve good mobility. Keeping joints mobile helps to keep them healthy, decreases pain and reduces the risk of injury. Flexibility and mobility allow you to place your body in the safest, most advantageous position for utilizing your strength. If you have strength but no mobility, you are working against the pull of your muscles and moving less efficiently through life.
