Exercise is for EVERYONE at EVERY AGE and at EVERY LEVEL

Exercise is something we ordinarily associate with young people in sweatpants along with wristbands and headbands to absorb the sweat from an intense workout. However, we need to change our thinking a bit. Every person, no matter their age or health can incorporate some kind of workout routine to ensure they are remaining active and vital. You need don’t have to do a set of pushups, but you can do chair exercises to keep you fit. You don’t have to run to the gym to pump iron, but you can attach weights to you wrists or ankles while you do your routine from a sitting position. Exercise for elderly in Bay Ridge will certainly pay off in many ways.
Exercise for Weight Loss
By now everyone knows the more activitly, the more you burn energy calories, the more you lose weight. There are healthy weights for people at every age. Unfortunately, according to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 1 in 3 adults in the US is overweight. Furthermore, over 40% of men and women over 60 are overweight. We have written before about a healthy BMI for the elderly which you can check out here. In order to achieve this goal, let’s add some exercise to the mix to get you or your elderly loved one moving in the right direction.
Exercise for Common Elderly Conditions
Additionally, we can add exercise to improve common elderly conditions in seniors. A re-examination of past studies relating exercise and four common elderly serious conditions: heart disease; chronic heart failure; stroke, and diabetes, showed that in all but chronic heart disease, exercise can be as effective as drug intervention in lessening mortality from these diseases. This can be very good news for those looking for alternatives or complements to their drug therapy.
Here are some great videos for seniors:
