Exercise now, save thousands later

The real healthcare savings come from strength training.

Hospital visits, home care, rehab stays — they all cost serious money. But here’s what people don’t talk about: most of it can be prevented with consistent physical activity.

A report by the CDC Foundation estimated that falls among older adults cost the U.S. over $50 billion annually. And most of those falls could be avoided with — you guessed it — strength and balance training.

Another study in Health Affairs showed that active older adults had significantly lower Medicare costs over time compared to sedentary peers.

Put simply: invest 20 minutes a day in exercise, and you could avoid $20,000 in hospital bills. Seems like a fair trade.
