Common Misconceptions About Seniors and Exercise “I’m too old” If you are still alive, you aren’t too old to start an exercise program “I’m not the athlete I was” Our bodies change overtime and certain abilities decline with age, but a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment can still be had by participating in age-appropriate activities “I will get old anyway” Exercise doesn’t stop us from getting older, but it does help us look and feel younger. By staying healthy, we get to enjoy longer life and stay independent while living it “I’m disabled or in ill health” Starting off slowly and gently with what you are able to do, such as stretching, can get you on a path that eventually will allow you to do more as you get stronger
Fall Prevention for Elderly
You CAN Prevent Falls!
Balance exercises ought to be done regularly, along with cardio, weights, and stretching, as part of a fitness and preventative program. Why exercise? We all know that regular exercise is good for you, but it is especially important as we age. The Surgeon General reports that as we age, we become less active. A third of all men and half of all women engage in no physical activity by the time they are 75 years old (CDC, 2019). This reduced activity leads to a loss of stamina and strength.
Prevents falls Reduces the risk of lower-extremity injuries, such as knee and ankle injuries Improves the ability to know where you are in space(proprioception) Builds better posture Increases your muscular power
