Aerobic Exercise, For The Seniors
Posted on February 25th, 2010 No commentsWe, never mind our age group require some form of physical exercise to keep up a healther and more fit body. It’s a established fact that people that attempt to exercise regularly live longer and havemore productive 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 less stress 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’s a very good chance that you’ll see a big melioration in a person’s over all wellness. The two things that really have an affect on the over all health is the need in most cases 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 deals with the whole body wherever possible. Even those with some types of limiting disabilities 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. Some recommend five days per week, but if you are not in shape and a little more senior you might want to stay with the three times per week schedule.
NO matter your physical condition, before you start or add to your excercise program, you truly should talk with your doctor. This is of great importance if you are a senior or someone with a disability.
