Exercise For The Elderly

Patti Adami

Today, one out of every 10 people in the United States is over 65. Old age can be a truly rewarding time of life—but only if you are physically fit and mentally alert.

Exercise is one way you can retain health and happiness. Physicians find that older people respond just as well as the young to the right kind of exercise.

Proper exercise helps delay much of the deterioration associated with aging by helping to strengthen muscles, improve circulation, and increase joint flexibility. Consequently, the elderly person who follows a regular routine looks better, feels better, and has a better selfimage.

Rigorous activities such as biking, jogging, swimming or calisthenics are vaiu able to elderly persons but must be closely monitored by a physician. Even relaxing group activities such as croquet, horseshoes, fishing and gardening will help to improve your physical as well as emotional well-being.

YMCAs, church groups, and social centers are a few of the many community groups which sponsor group exercise activities for senior citizens. Check with your physician before beginning an exercise program. Chances are no matter what shape you’re in, exercise can help you enjoy a happier, healthier retirement.
