Just because you are a senior citizen, you do not have to live like one. You can now keep your body healthy enough to avoid painful illnesses, retirement homes, and general symptoms of aging. Fortunately, there are many easy techniques to stay as healthy as you could ever imagine.
Keeping your body active is key to remain healthy. Walking is an ideal exercise. You can either get outdoors to take in some fresh air or keep cool in an air-conditioned home for sale in Stuart on a treadmill. Just make sure that you have a good pair of walking shoes to support your feet and back. There are also a variety of fitness classes, such as yoga, available for seniors to relieve stress, have fun, and interact with friends. Yoga classes combine body movement with proper breathing techniques to gain flexibility, muscle strength and weight loss. Meanwhile, participating in water aerobics can reduce any joint pains in your body.
To begin, you should perform good cardiovascular exercises to build endurance in your heart and lungs. Any cardio routine will ensure the steady flow of oxygen and nutrients throughout your body. While exercising, you may get short of breath, but it is expected. Simply work through it, or take a little break to catch your breath. Performing cardio exercises are wonderful for seniors, as you can improve endurance levels all over your body. Your daily routines will benefit, as you will have enough energy to walk further, climb stairs, ride a bike, go dancing and perform many more exciting activities.
As you get older, you should also work on strength training. Use small amounts of weight to perform numerous repetitions in order to build muscle. You can also work on resistance training with either free weights or machines. Building strong muscles assists the elderly by improving balance and fighting off weak bones that can easily be broken. Muscle strength gives seniors their independence, whether it is getting out of a car, lifting a suitcase or bathing themselves. After all, nobody wants to fall in the shower and not be able to get up.
Senior citizens should also do everything possible to get good flexibility. Stretching your body can help your joints to move through a full range of motion with no trouble. Static stretches can be performed while standing, sitting or lying still. Ballistic stretches, designed to perform while moving, are designed to keep joints and muscles flexible enough to avoid injury. Both static and ballistic stretches allow seniors the ability to perform important activities, including tying up your own shoes, washing your hair in the shower, looking over your own shoulder while driving, and playing with your active grandkids in your Stuart luxury home.
