How are older Zimbabweans combating chronic diseases despite limited fitness facilities?

Older Zimbabweans are addressing chronic health issues by exercising wherever they can, including in unconventional locations like graveyards through groups such as the Commandos Fitness Club. With limited access to formal gym facilities in their neighborhoods, these seniors have created their own fitness communities. Their primary goal is to combat Africa's growing problem of chronic diseases, specifically targeting heart problems, high blood pressure, and diabetes through regular physical activity. This grassroots fitness movement demonstrates how elderly Zimbabweans are taking proactive steps to maintain their health despite infrastructure limitations.
