Health And Fitness Means Regular Exercise
Why is Fitness For Seniors so Important?
Regular exercise will help protect you from chronic disease, improve your mood and lower your chances of injury. The older you are, the more you have to gain from exercise. All it takes is 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
If you can only start with five minutes of walking, then that's what you should do.
One of my favorite plans to recommend for getting started is the five-minutes-out, five-minutes-back.
Just like it sounds, you walk out for five minutes, turn around, and walk back. That's it...10 minutes of walking, and off you go about your day.
Starting any place for health and fitness is better than not starting

WHAT WIKIPEDIA SAYS ABOUT SENIOR FITNESS
Physical fitness comprises two related concepts: general fitness (a state of health and well-being) and specific fitness (a task-oriented definition based on the ability to perform specific aspects of sports or occupations).
In previous years, fitness was commonly defined as the capacity to carry out the day's activities without undue fatigue. However, as automation increased leisure time, changes in lifestyles following the industrial revolution rendered this definition insufficient. These days, physical fitness is considered a measure of the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic diseases, and to meet emergency situations.

Due to Lack of Training, Not Just Aging
Senior make quick improvements when they start exercise
We all probably know of at least one senior citizen who seems to defy the laws of aging and remains in top physical shape well beyond their peers. We also tend to dismiss this person as genetically gifted or just unusual. However, research, and more and more seniors, are showing us that this doesn't have to be the case. Many of the declines in fitness with age are due to lack of use, not just the normal aging process.
While it's true that as we age we have to work harder than the young, a lot of the declines that we attribute to aging may be reversed with fitness training.
