I started writing for fun when I was a kid but I didn't get serious about publishing until my 20s. After taking film and broadcasting in college I felt I'd found my true calling. I now write, direct, and produce ultra-low-budget movies. I've won two awards for my scripts; editor's choice for poetry and I'm published in paperback as well on Amazon. My first non-fiction book entitled, "I Know How You Feel..." is about my ten-year struggle with the death of my oldest son and how writing about it brought me back.

A. Importance of exercise for seniors
Exercise plays a crucial role in promoting optimal health and well-being for people of all ages, including seniors. In fact, maintaining an active lifestyle becomes even more important as we age. Regular exercise offers numerous benefits that can enhance the physical, mental, and emotional health of seniors, enabling them to lead fulfilling and independent lives.
1. Physical Health:
a. Improved Balance and Stability: Engaging in exercises that focus on balance and coordination can help prevent falls, a common concern among seniors. Strengthening core muscles and improving stability can significantly reduce the risk of injuries.
b. Increased Strength and Flexibility:
Regular physical activity helps build and maintain muscle strength, which is crucial for performing daily tasks and maintaining independence. Flexibility exercises can enhance mobility and range of motion, making activities like bending, reaching, and walking easier and more comfortable.
