Ep.213 - Want to Age Well? Start Doing This Today

What if the biggest fitness crisis isn't obesity—it's falling? In this episode of The Fitness Beginner Podcast, I sit down with Michael Ungar, Functional Aging Specialist and founder of At Home Senior Fitness, to discuss why 1 in 4 adults over 65 falls each year and what we can do to change that. We dive into the importance of strength, balance, mobility, and walking confidence, why consistency beats intensity as we age, and how exercise can dramatically improve both physical and mental health. Michael also shares his inspiring journey from Rabbi to fitness professional, the lessons he learned from donating a kidney to a complete stranger, and why helping older adults stay independent has become his life's mission. Whether you're over 50, caring for aging parents, or simply want to stay active for decades to come, this conversation is packed with practical advice that can help you build a stronger, healthier future. In this episode you'll learn: Why falls are one of the biggest health threats for older adults How to improve balance, strength, and walking confidence The biggest mistakes families make with aging parents Why most senior fitness programs miss the mark How to stay independent and active as you age Michael's inspiring story of becoming a living kidney donor If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who wants to age stronger. ============================= Watch This Next:    • Ep.1 - Consistency is Key   ============================= Download my FREE eBooks: "The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Fitness" https://murphymcfit.ck.page/beginners...
