This week on KXAN’s Simple Health, we explore how simple movements can help people stay mobile and reduce their risk of falling. Reporter Noah McKinney introduces us to the Eastland “Old Rips,” a team of women ages 50 to 76 who have built community, and found joy, through the game.
Central Texas women have their own teams, showing that fitness, friendship and fun can last a lifetime.
