Defy the Decline: Strength, Movement & Confidence at Any Age As women enter their fifth decade, maintaining physical independence becomes increasingly vital for quality of life. Research demonstrates that high-level performances in mobility tests are clearly correlated to feelings of independence, making this an essential focus for healthy ageing.
