Tracy Green, a certified Pilates instructor and running coach in Louisville, Kentucky, highly recommends making strength and balance work a regular part of any aging athlete’s life. She frequently works with clients who are over the age of 50 and want to maintain — or gain — fitness as they age.

“Any sort of single leg–focused balance and strength work is [ideal for athletes as they age],” Green tells LIVESTRONG.com. “We tend to lose some of our balance abilities as we age, so working on exercises that reinforce good balance and proprioception is great for both exercising and daily life.”
