Current research has demonstrated that strength and resistance training exercises have the ability to combat weakness and frailty and their debilitating consequences. Join Shameka Clark, Wellness Coordinator with Azalea Estates, as she reiterates the importance of resistance and strength training for seniors and provides exercise tips and suggestions for using dumbbells and other fitness equipment.
