Research has shown that regular exercise can benefit healthy seniors and older adults with health conditions such as arthritis, high blood pressure, and obesity. If you desire to age gracefully and are interested in taking action in terms of physical fitness regardless of your age, this is a book you want to pay attention to! Included are guidelines, exercise tips, and lifestyle changes to equip and strengthen your body for the years ahead. We've tried to make it as simple to understand and practice as possible. Of course, you must consult your physician before you start any exercise regimen; their guidance will help you ascertain the level of intensity to begin at. While some exercises aren’t suitable for those with restrictions, there is always a modification that can be substituted. We hope that you will not only read through to educate yourself but also help yourself by putting what you read into practice. Be assured that your body will reward you for acting.
Senior citizens are encouraged to get at least 2.5 hours of moderate exercise weekly. This may not be easy, though, because you tend to become less energetic and, therefore, less active as you age. These slowdowns are natural and expected as the body undergoes many changes as it ages.
These changes include slower metabolism, stiffening of blood vessels, shrinkage, reduction of bone density, etc. All these changes contribute to making it more challenging to stay active as you get along in age. Exercise is important for people of all ages. You need to engage in physical activities regardless of age to keep the body and mind active. However, as you approach your golden years, the importance of exercise cannot be overemphasized. Most people believe you should slow down as you age, but that's not entirely true.
While exercise helps maintain the mind, joints, and body, yoga can help uplift them. Yoga is an ancient practice that has been around for thousands of years, and it is used to focus the mind and body while focusing on bringing peace to the spirit. Yoga helps to stretch muscles and loosen the joints while increasing circulation. The movements in yoga will put weight on or stretch the body in different positions that strengthen the muscles and joints. These yoga poses can help build stronger bones, which is essential for seniors. Seniors can benefit from practicing yoga alongside a well-rounded exercise routine. Yoga incorporates movements that increase flexibility, build strength, and relax the mind. Athletes use yoga regularly to maintain their fitness, flexibility, and focus for their sports. Practicing yoga alongside your exercises can help reduce your chances of injury and muscle recovery time. Improve your balance and build functional strength with yoga.
Complete with plentiful instructions and pictures, this book puts you in the driver’s seat when it comes to getting in shape. The usual excuses can no longer keep you from taking the reins of your senior health. Join us on a simple, straightforward journey toward better health, flexibility, and strength!
