Staying Fit The Older You Get

Regular exercise for seniors is packed with a powerhouse of benefits including
less pain, improved heart health, more flexible joints, weight loss and better
sleep. But what if an aging loved one brushes off the idea of routine exercise?
Heres how to help:
Explain the healthful benefits. Regular physical activity is essential for better
living as people age.
Start small. Seniors who have been inactive or have slowed down over the
years need to gradually increase exercise challenges.
Be realistic. Make a written exercise plan that is doable and attainable and
modify it as needed.
Choose the enjoyable. Suggest a variety of exercise options and let your
senior choose their top two or three preferred activities.
Garner the support of others. Enlisting an exercise buddy helps with
exercise consistency and builds friendship.
