The state of Idaho began offering Fit and Fall Proof classes in 2004 because research showed that multicomponent exercise with resistance, strength and proprioceptive training reduces fall-related injuries by up to 40%.
The Action Center of Lakewood, a beneficiary of The Denver Post's Season to Share program, has seen food and clothing needs triple since the start of the pandemic.
The days of Fit and Fall Proof at the Post Falls Senior Center are numbered.
The exercise program will be displaced after June 26 as the building at 1215 E. Third Ave. undergoes renovations. It is being remodeled to house the senior center as well as the Post Falls Food Bank.
