Movement is Medicine: Why Exercise is So Important with Advancing Age with Dan McFarlane

August 07, 2020

The older we get, the more important exercise becomes. Our guest, Dan McFarlane, has performed over 15,000 in-home therapy sessions, primarily with older adults and primarily for patients with “generalized, age-related weakness”. From this professional experience, he has learned the necessary exercises that are needed to stay fit, physically mobile, and functioning. In this episode, our guest will share his research and discoveries about physical fitness, why consistency is more essential than intensity, and why mobility is the key to continued functioning in advanced age. We will also discuss Dan’s home exercise system, comprised of 20 exercises that are completed in 10 minutes and intended to provide therapeutic healing. The system is a simple setup that is installed in any door frame. The Mobility Max is the system that keeps exercise and fitness within the reach of anyone and delays age-related weakness and loss of mobility.
