‘Something is better
Fitness tips for older adults from Age Well founder Katrina Wolf
BY ANGELA ROBERTS AROBERTS@NEWSPOST.COM
As a former physical thera py assistant, Katrina Wolf knows just how important it is for people to keep moving as they get older.
Adults start losing muscle mass in their 30s, she said. Their bones be come more brittle and susceptible to fracture. Their heart and blood vessels become more rigid, decreasing the amount of blood flow to their brain.
“That’s all very depressing,” she said during a presentation at the C. Burr Artz Public Library in Frederick recently. “What can we do to improve all of those things that I just listed? There is one thing that we can do, and it’s exercise.”
Fitness helps people build muscle and improve their balance and vas cular health, Wolf said. It’s especially important for people older than 55 to exercise, she added, because loss of strength is one of the most common reasons for why people need to get assistance in their homes.
Want to be more active but aren’t sure where to start?
Here are some tips from Wolf, founder of Age Well Senior Fitness, a company that offers in-home and virtual personal-training services to clients 55 and up, as well as those with health problems.
Older adults should speak with their doctors before starting any exercise program, she said.
TIP #1 Start where you are
The American College of Sports
Medicine recommends that people older than 65 get 150 minutes of mod erate activity every week. That’s about 30 minutes of exercise five days per week, including two days of resistance training.
But fitness rookies shouldn’t let that guidance intimidate them. Start at a lev el of fitness where they’re comfortable. If that’s 10 minutes of exercise per day, instead of 30, that’s better than zero.
“Something is better than nothing,” Wolf said.
TIP #2 Don’t forget about strength training
Wolf often sees older adults walk ing with their friends when she drives through retirement communities. While walking is wonderful exercise, she said, it’s not enough.
Strength training helps older adults remain independent in their homes.
Aim to complete eight to 12 repeti tions of each type of exercise in two to three sets. The weights should be heavy enough that the last several repetitions are difficult to complete.
It’s important that this exercise is pro gressive, meaning it gets more difficult over time. Older adults can increase the weight they use or increase the number of repetitions, exercises in rotation, or speed.
TIP #3 Balance is critical
Balance training is a “must,” espe cially for adults over 65. Falls are one of the leading causes of hospitaliza tions among this population. Older adults who fall and break a bone are likely to experience a significant de cline in function.
A good balance exercise should chal
lenge an older adult. If you aren’t strug gling to keep your balance, your body isn’t learning anything. But at the same time, it’s also important to stay safe, so you don’t fall while exercising.
TIP #4 Check your posture
Common daily activities such as
driving and reading cause people to lean forward, worsening their posture. Poor posture can contribute to joint pain, problems with digestion and breathing, and headaches.
Working to improve your posture can help improve other aspects of your health, as well.

than nothing’
TIP #5 Remember to stretch
People lose flexibility as they age. It’s common for older adults, espe cially those who sit a lot, to experi ence tightening in their chest and hip flexors.
It’s important not to stretch a mus cle when it’s cold. When working with
clients, Wolf often has them work on flexibility at the end of an exercise routine.
Older adults should be able to hold a stretch for at least 20 seconds. She usually has her clients do three sets of stretches that last for 20 seconds each. Breathing is also important
when working on flexibility.
TIP #6 Explore your exercise options
Virtual exercise classes for older adults are available on YouTube and at local senior centers. Physical ther apists also often have online classes
for clients.
Some people may enjoy group ac tivities, such as pickleball. In-person fitness options help reduce feelings of isolation and meet the need for social interaction, as well as exercise.

You deserve a break
Older couples who sell their homes can benefit from tax savings
BY ELDER SERVICES PROVIDER COUNCIL
ConsiderIrene, who recently be came a widow when her hus band, Henry, died. Like most married couples, they held the title to their home in joint ownership with the right of survivorship. In plain er language, this means that co-owner Henry’s death results in his loss of all ownership in their dwelling. Surviving co-owner Irene automatically acquires all ownership in it.
Irene is uncertain what to do with her highly appreciated home. One option is to quickly sell it and move to where her daughter lives. But Irene should go slowly when it comes to major decisions such as home sales.
Other options are to wait several years to sell or just stay put, in which case the residence would eventually wind up with her heirs.
Irene wants to know the tax conse quences of selling or staying. First, she needs to understand the tax breaks for individuals who sell their principal res idences.
Exclusions
The law authorizes “exclusions” that allow home sellers to sidestep income taxes on most of their profits when they unload their principal residences. The profit exclusions are as much as $500,000 for couples filing joint returns and as much as $250,000 for single per sons. Sellers are liable for taxes on gains greater than $500,000 or $250,000.
If Irene decides to sell: Can she ex clude $500,000 or $250,000? The answer depends on the sale date and whether she remarries. Though she’s no longer mar
ried, recently widowed Irene still qualifies for the higher amount — as long as she sells within two years of Henry’s death. It’s the lower amount if she sells after the two-year deadline.
If Irene remarries: If her new husband, Steve, then lives in the place as his prin cipal residence for at least two years out of the five-year period that precedes the sale date, the profit exclusion will once again be $500,000 (with caveats).
Tax rates for long-term capital gains
For most sales, the tax rate usually is 15%, increasing to 20% for lots of high-income sellers. It goes as high as 23.8% for those who are in the top in come tax bracket of 37% and subject to the Medicare surtax of as much as 3.8%
on income from certain kinds of invest ments, including profits from home sales.
State income taxes
On top of Uncle Sam’s take, state in come taxes may also be owed. I caution Irene that she might not be able to de duct all those taxes.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
This legislation imposes a $10,000 ceiling on write-offs for state and local income and property taxes. Another snag: Irene forfeits any write-off for state in come taxes if she’s subject to the alter native minimum tax.
Step-up in basis
Irene is also pleased to get some good
news that the government authorizes ex ceptional condolence gifts for Irene, the basis of inherited assets “steps up” from their original basis.
On Henry’s death, a step-up in basis for their home benefits Irene when she sells her dwelling. What happens if she never sells?
On Irene’s death, there’s a step-up of her adjusted basis. When the heirs sell the home, they’re liable for capital gains taxes only on the post-inheritance ap preciation.
Navigating a scenario like Irene’s is complicated and can be overwhelming. It is wise to consult a reputable finan cial advisor or elder law attorney before making any decisions. The cost of their services may well be worth it in the end.

‘She sets the pace, and we follow her’
Connecticut woman competes in a 5K road race at age 100
BY LORI RILEY TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
At age 99, Marion “Mic” Roberts completed her first road race.
That was last September, at the Haddam Neck Fair 5K. She fin ished the 3.1-mile race in 56 minutes.
Sunday morning, she was back on the starting line, a week after celebrat ing her 100th birthday on Aug. 28. She finished the 5K — walking with her son Chuck Roberts and daughterin-law Donna Roberts, listening to a little Frank Sinatra — in 1 hour, 31 seconds.
“She’s 40 years older than I am and she doesn’t slow down,” Donna said. “She sets the pace, and we follow her.”
Roberts, of Haddam, won her age group — 80-plus — and was pre sented a medal by the race organiz ers while the other runners cheered. After the awards ceremony, several runners asked to have their picture taken with her.
“I thought it sounded like fun,” said Roberts, who grew up in East Hamp ton and remembered going to the fair (which started in 1909) as a child with her grandparents.
“I just thought I’d do it and come at the tail end and go home. I didn’t expect all this.”
Roberts is a walker; she walks over 2 miles a day. She also plays bocce and occasionally stays up until 11 p.m. playing bridge at her senior living facility.
Her grandchildren, Chuck’s kids, were runners at East Hampton High School and they all ran the Haddam Neck Fair race several times, and Rob erts would always come and watch.
Last year, Chuck asked her, on a whim, if she wanted to do the race herself.
“She goes, ‘OK, I’ll try it,’” Chuck said. “So here we are, the second year.
“We might retire after this year. Well, maybe I will.”
He laughed.
Roberts was always active. She taught dance lessons when she was younger. She skied. She golfed un til a shoulder injury at age 80 forced her to stop. But she kept walking. Her husband Cullen (whom she met while teaching dance) died in 1999. Two of her three sons passed away.
“She takes one pill a day,” Donna said. “She’s completely healthy. It’s her attitude. She’s overcome a lot of obstacles and kept going.”
She broke her pelvis two years ago, then contracted COVID-19. She got through that. Kept going.
Sunday, she wore a blouse and

slacks for the race. The year before at the race, Donna said, she wore pearls with her outfit.
Just as the race started, the sun came out and it was hot and fairly humid. There was a short steep hill at the start of Mile 3. They had to stop a few times on the hill. Roberts called it “a beaut.”
But as the clock clicked just over an hour, there was Roberts, not a hair out of place, walking purposefully through the finish line chute. People cheered and took pictures.
“We were five minutes slower than last year, but I think all of us slowed down,” Chuck said. “She did great.”
As they were leaving the race last year, Roberts was stopped multiple times and asked, “What’s your secret?”
“These were people in their 50s and 60s, saying, ‘I want to be able to do this 30 years from now,’” Chuck said.
Roberts said there is no secret.
“I just live day to day” she said. “And if someone says, ‘Let’s do something,’ I say, ‘Sure.’”

SUDOKU
Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
