How often should a senior citizen exercise?
That depends on age, help, and any restrictions. I think a half-hour of moderate exercise per day could be enough. It could be anything such as walking, gardening, housework, yard work. It would be best if it is something that they do in their regular day or interest.
However, all these depend on they’re capable. If not, seniors may be able to work up to it, starting with 5 minutes and adding a minute a day at appropriate intervals. Depending on overall health, getting out and moving 3 or 4 times a week is excellent. As a piece of friendly advice, not to work out hard two days in a row as the body takes longer to recover when older, particularly from inflammation.
