Making activity part of our daily routine becomes more vital as we age, but can also be more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seniors should always discuss their physical activity level and ability with their physician. For most, engaging in 30 minutes of moderate activity each day can have numerous long-term benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Low-Impact Exercise Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a variety of low-impact exercises and activities that can be beneficial for seniors. Low-impact exercise can elevate the heart rate, which in turn has physical health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While it is typically easier to participate in these less rigorous types of exercise, older adults should always talk to their doctor before starting a new program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Eight Low-Impact Exercises for Seniors:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>#1 &#8211; Walking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the benefits of walking is that, unlike running, it\u2019s easier on the joints. Plus, it doesn\u2019t require any special equipment or a gym membership. With a comfortable pair of tennis shoes and a smooth pathway, someone can start this right away. For the most benefit, keeping a brisk pace for at least 15-20 minutes is important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>#2 &#8211; Swimming<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s better than minimal stress on the joints? No stress at all. Swimming provides several benefits, including strengthened shoulders and increased lung capacity. Seniors can also take part in water aerobics or walk on underwater treadmills.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>#3 &#8211; Yoga<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From improving flexibility and coordination to strengthening your core, there\u2019s very little that yoga doesn\u2019t do. Additionally, yoga has been shown to improve mood, focus, and overall mental well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>#4 &#8211; Pilates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This exercise allows for very slow and concise movements, designed to improve posture and flexibility. Like yoga, Pilates is known to improve mental well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>#5 &#8211; Cycling:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the proper safety measures in place (including a helmet, shin pads, and appropriate configurations), cycling can do wonders for not only the cardiovascular system but also the joints and various muscle groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>#6 &#8211; Weight training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weight training can be done at home, with small free weights or even moderately heavy objects that you can grip easily, or at a fitness center. Consistent repetition is key, as is advancing to heavier weights over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>#7 &#8211; Leg Raises<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These can be done at home with no equipment. Simply stand behind a chair, and while holding on to the back of the chair, move one leg to the side and then back. Repeating this, with different variations, can help strengthen lower back and thigh muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b>#8 &#8211; Dancing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In recent years, there has been a rise in the popularity of dance class enrollment \u2013 and for good reason. The constant movement in dancing classes can help circulation and flexibility. Attending these classes can also provide great opportunities to socialize and connect with others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
