Exercise has been shown to contribute to a longer and better life. Even small amounts of regular physical activity help reduce stress, improve mood, and boost energy and vitality.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC estimates that 4\/5 of the most expensive health conditions in seniors could be prevented or managed with exercise. Sadly, only 35% of adults over 65 include physical exercise in their daily routine.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Benefits of Physical Activity for Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Regular movement can help your senior loved one quality of life.

A healthcare professional can recommend adequate, low-impact activities for seniors. Before beginning make sure seniors speak with their doctor before introducing changes to their lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Four Types of Physical Activity for Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are numerous ways to incorporate aerobic activity, strength-building exercises, and stretching into a daily routine.\u00a0 Most of these exercises can take place at home with little effort. Some great exercise ideas include:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Type #1 &#8211; Aerobic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Aerobic exercise, dancing, or walking in place are great ways to improve heart health and lose weight.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Type #2 &#8211; Strength-building exercises<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many easy strength-building exercises can be performed with common household items or by using body weight, so no fancy or expensive equipment is needed to get your loved one started.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Type #3 &#8211; Stretching<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not only does stretching prevent soreness after exercising but it also significantly increases flexibility and range of motion. What is more, tons of senior-friendly stretching exercise routines can be found online and performed at home.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Type #4 &#8211; Balance exercises<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Balance exercises, including Yoga, tai chi, and other low-impact regimens, help prevent falls, improve mobility, and contribute to boosting overall health.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Vancouver, BC, is Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many families prefer Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> when arranging senior home care services for a loved one in or around Vancouver, British Columbia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
