Are You Getting Older? Stay Fit With These Exercises
Author : Stan Cristian
The older you are, the more important it is to do exercises on a regular basis. Trying to exercise, even if it’s only a moderate intensity, will help you by reversing the aging effects, if you manage to do it in the long run. Besides getting a longer life, you also get a better quality of life. You will become fitter and healthier, avoiding the aches and pains which show for most people when they get old.
Being sedentary is something you should definitely avoid, if you’re getting older. Any type of activity is fine, as long as it gets you to do some movement and exercise. Make sure you do it in moderation though, especially if you have a debilitating ailment. If you want to exercise regularly, choose an exercise that you enjoy doing, so you’re motivated enough to do it on a regular basis. Remember, starting to exercise regularly as early as possible will bring the most benefits.
Even if you don’t begin to exercise early, you can always start later. A study done on people living in a nursing home discovered that just two months of exercise will improve the balance and strength of people that were over 80 years old.
Aerobics should be combined with strength and flexibility exercises, if you want the best results. Exercises will help you improve both in the mental and physical areas. You will notice an increase in mental acuity, when the brain receives blood rich in oxygen, and physically you will have more endurance, strength and flexibility. The types of exercises below are the main ones you can use to improve your health.
Endurance exercises
This type of exercises includes running, walking, hiking, cycling, jogging, mowing the lawn, dancing, tennis, swimming, golf, gardening, stationary bikes and treadmill workouts. You should spend at last half an hour doing endurance exercises, at least three times each week.
Strength Exercises
Strength exercises will help you boost your strength, by weight lifting, resistance exercises and calisthenics (push-ups, crunches). Don’t do strength exercises on the same days you’re doing endurance training. Take two days to rest after each half hour session of weight lifting.
Stretching
You can do stretching and flexibility exercises for around ten minutes, usually after you complete a workout session. You should stretch all your main muscles, including shoulders, arms, back, legs and trunk.
A simple half an hour invested each day in aerobics or strength exercises a few times a week will make wonders for your general health.
