What is the recommended amount of exercise for seniors in a day?
Older adults need to be active every day to stay healthy or improve their health. They have to do physical activity, including fitness, strength, flexibility, and balance. It is better for seniors aged 65 or older to do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and most preferably every day. Even if it is light, doing exercise is better than not doing it. Daily activities such as shopping housework are not moderate-intensity because they do not increase your heart rate.
