Many seniors recognize the importance of incorporating exercise into their daily lives, but might be skeptical that they are physically able to do so. Perhaps you think you\u2019re too old and frail, or don\u2019t know what types of exercises are safe for seniors of your age. You might be worried about injuring yourself and don\u2019t know where to start. It doesn\u2019t make a difference what age you are, or your current physical condition; regular exercise will be beneficial to your health.<\/p>\n
A senior who has an exercise routine will feel more energetic, be more independent and their symptoms of pain or illness will be better managed. Plus, exercise is good for your mood, mind and memory! Starting a regular exercise routine doesn\u2019t mean you have to spend hours at the gym or do strenuous, heart-pounding workouts.\u00a0 Start slowly, adding more activity into your life in small ways, even if it means simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator or parking at the far end of the parking lot.<\/p>\n
