Fitness Tips for Older Adults

Staying active is a core component of supporting our overall health and quality of life as we age.

Unfortunately, this can be challenging for seniors due to mobility issues and even age-related chronic health problems.

Here are a few helpful tips...

Start Slow

It's easy for anyone to get carried away by the excitement of starting a new exercise program. However, rushing into too much too quickly can be a recipe for failure.

Stretch

While endurance-boosting cardiovascular exercises might be the first type of physical activity that comes to mind, one of several fitness activities critical to achieving optimal health is flexibility.

Do It Everyday

Want to help your aging loved one derive all of the benefits of working out? Encourage them to do it every day.

And remember to have fun!
