Physical Benefits of Taekwondo for Seniors
- Exercise and strength training help you look and feel younger and stay active longer
- Research shows that a sedentary lifestyle is unhealthy for adults over 50. Inactivity often causes older adults to do things on their own
- Metabolism naturally slows with age, making it even more important to maintain a healthy weight
