Water Aerobics 
In recent years, water aerobics has become an increasingly popular exercise among people of all ages, but mainly among seniors. Exercising in the water is best for people who have arthritis, and other kinds of joint discomfort since the buoyancy of the water reduces the tension on your joints.
Furthermore, water provides natural resistance, eliminating the need for equipment in strength training. Water aerobics activities increase your strength, agility, and coordination while putting the least amount of strain on your body. 

The following are some excellent water exercise activities for seniors: 
• Jogging in the water 
• Kicking flutter 
• Leg lifts 
• Push-ups while standing in water 
• Arm curls 

Chair Yoga 
Chair yoga, like water workouts, is a low-impact type of exercise that boosts muscular strength, mobility, stability, and flexibility, all of which are significant health considerations for seniors.
Chair yoga is an easy type that puts less stress on the muscles, joints, and bones than more classic forms of yoga.
Also, chair yoga is said to improve older people’s mental health. Regular practitioners claim improved quality sleep, fewer cases of depression, and an overall sense of well-being. 

Here are some of the best chair yoga exercises for older adults: 
• Overhead stretch 
• Seated cow stretch 
• Seated cat stretch 
• Seated mountain pose 
• Seated twist
