January’s focus: Gerofit – An Exercise Program for Older Veterans
Exercise is great for your physical, mental and emotional health, especially as you age.
Gerofit is a proven exercise program that promotes health and wellness for older Veterans. Gerofit is a great way for Veterans to stay active by using a variety of strength and aerobic exercises.
During the current times, it is important to find ways to exercise from home. Talk with your primary care provider before starting an exercise program.
