We can trace back the occurrence of many chronic diseases like heart diseases, strokes, diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer’s to a lack of physical activity alongside poor dietary habits such as eating more than the recommended amount of fast food.
Seniors can avoid these unhealthy results and benefit from participating in at least 150 minutes of aerobic activities with moderate intensity and 75 minutes of the same aerobic exercises with vigorous intensity per week. If we do the math, we’ll end up with a total of about 30 minutes of workout and exercise per day.
Professionals also recommend that older adults engage in activities that involve all major muscle groups of their bodies for at least two days per week while also considering adding balance-improving exercises to their workout schedule. This recommendation is especially for those who suffer from imbalance and worry about falling.
Safety should be a senior’s top priority, so they should consult a physician before starting a new workout schedule.
