Exercise is an important part of staying healthy. Low-impact exercises can improve muscle strength, mobility, balance, and flexibility without putting excessive stress on joints. Activities like swimming, cycling, yoga, and the elliptical are straightforward ways to incorporate exercise into your routine!
