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

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.
