Aerobic Exercise, For Seniors

Filed under: Misc — Author @ 10:47 am

We, no matter our age group require some form of physical exercise to maintain a healther and more fit body. It is a established fact that people that endeavor to exercise on a regular basis live longer and enjoyricher lives and are healthier.

The seniors amongst us will most likely be able to do, and respond better, to some type of exercise that puts lower strain on the body. This exercise in just about all instances will be low impact aerobic exercise.

When you blend a good low impact exercise plan with a cholesterol lowering diet there is a really good chance that you will see a big improvement in a person’s over all health. The two things that genuinely have an impact on the over all health is the need in most instances to lower cholesterol and a need for cardiovascular exercise through a good aerobic workouts program.

Total physical fitness can be fulfilled through a low impact exercise program which addresses the whole body wherever possible. Even those with some types of limiting impairments can be involved in some type of low impact exercises.

To have a good low impact exercise program you should exercise (cardiovascularly) at least three days per week. A few recommend five days per week, but if you’re not in shape and a little more senior you might want to stay with the three times per week schedule.

Irrespective of your physical condition, before you start or add to your excercise program, you really should talk with your doctor. This is of great importance if you are a senior or someone with a disability.
