Simple Health: Benefits of staying fit at every age

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A new effort gets underway Wednesday to highlight stories that focus on inspiring health journeys or sharing information to improve people's lives.

Each week digital anchor Will DuPree talks with KXAN producer Jose Torres for a Simple Health conversation.

The stories they'll discuss this time is:

• Jose Torres will talk about how 2020 became a transformative year in his life even though he suffered a stroke, lived with diabetes and dealt with isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Fitness has no age cap, and people can and should stay active at any stage of life. A group of older adults between the ages of 70 to 100 years old take fitness classes with the help of a trainer. Learn why their focus is on foot strength and stability.
