The kind of exercise that older adults should try to do on a regular basis is cardiovascular exercise. This form of exercise will help to reduce blood pressure and improves the functioning of the heart and the rest of the circulatory system. The increased cardiovascular fitness also helps to improve the older adults’ gait. This means walking, jogging, stair climbing, running, or cycling for at least thirty minutes each day is recommended for older adults to help preserve their mobility.
There are many other benefits of aerobic exercise for older adults. Physical activity and exercise will help older adults feel good about themselves because they will be burning more calories than they are currently consuming through their diet and regular activities. The exercise will also help the older adults to maintain their weight loss program by keeping their body energized. Finally, participating in some form of exercise will improve their mental well-being because it releases endorphins – the same feel-good neurotransmitters that are released during times of extreme happiness or excitement. If you’re an older adult who needs to begin an exercise program to help you stay fit and healthy then you should start with a thirty-minute walk a few times a week either in the morning or in the evening.
