Abstract
Fitness is important to all but is indeed important to seniors. Partaking in fitness positively contributes to seniors in all fascists of life. Seniors attempting to stay fit is essential as it improves their mental health, physical health, and social well-being while stimulating independence and longevity. Mentally, exercise helps relieve depression and anxiety, boosts cognitive function, and improves sleep. Staying active also promotes better balance and mobility, reducing the risks of falls and making daily duties easier. Regular exercise strengthens muscles and bones, improves heart health, weight management, and enhances joint function. These help reduce the risk of conditions like fractures and arthritis. Socially, participating in group activities helps with engagement and reduces feelings of loneliness. Groups like fitness classes and clubs provide an environment where older adults can gain new friendships and relationships with likeminded people. In this research, I will present evidence and reasons as to why seniors continuing to participate in fitness provides many perks and improves one's overall living
