When we say workout, we mostly assume or imagine young people going to the gym and sweating it off.
Nobody usually talks about workout for senior citizens. Since my mom is also a senior citizen and we discuss lots of exercise options and workout plans for my mom, I decided to focus on the same subject matter this issue. Also as many of my readers from my past issues have been asking me about senior citizens fitness, I thought why not dedicate this month’s topic to our seniors. Exercise is vital for people of all ages for maintaining health, preventing injuries, and lowering risks of heart diseases. Having exercise routines readily available will give you a jump start towards better health. Just because you are 50+ years old, that does not give you the right to stop taking care of your body. It is important for mature adults to continue or begin a healthy lifestyle to live a long and healthy life. There are two types of benefits that exercise can provide for a senior. The first is psychological well being and the second is physical. These have totally separate benefits where one affects how the brain operates and the other affects how the body operates.
If you’re an older adult looking to establish an exercise routine, you should, ideally, be able to incorporate 150 minutes of moderate endurance activity into your week. This can include walking, swimming, cycling, and a little bit of time every day to improve strength, flexibility, and balance.
Today I will be providing some of the exercise options for seniors to improve strength, flexibility, and balance.
