Why Should Seniors Exercise?
Even though people of all ages need to exercise, it’s important part of care for elderly men and women to get exercise. As the body ages, it begins to slow down. Muscle strength, endurance and flexibility can begin to suffer. That’s why regular exercise replaces the body strength that people can lose after the age of 25. Daily exercise can help elders combat issues like arthritis, osteoporosis, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. This article discusses types of exercise programs for senior citizens, and discusses creating an exercise routine.
