Exercise and fitness has been shown to increase mental alertness and personal happiness as well as physical fitness. The value of exercise for seniors goes well beyond merely a focus on physical health, just as it does for everyone else.
The best exercise for seniors: walking
The very best exercise for seniors is walking; an hour a day, hiking on easy trails, walking with a pet or a companion is a great way to get out of the house, open your mind, and keep the blood moving. Seniors interested in this most basic exercise should develop a routine. This may mean a regular daily walk to a restaurant or coffee shop far enough away from home. Having a dog is also a great way to create a daily walking routine.
Benefits of seniors' exercises
Exercise keeps you strong and nimble and helps you avoid falls—one of the biggest reasons people need a retirement home.
Other benefits include:
- Maintaining mental acuity
- Fighting illness and viruses
- Staving off boredom and depression
- Improved self-confidence and personal happiness
Video: basic exercises for seniors
Chris Moffett, a specialist in fitness for seniors, has developed numerous exercises specifically for seniors to help them remain active and—most importantly—avoid falls.
The following video demonstrates some excellent simple exercises perfectly suited for seniors who want to remain nimble and strong.
Improve stability through balance training
Chris recommends this simple exercise to train your balance while using multiple senses:
Walk down a long straight hallway with one hand touching the wall, but walk as if you were on a tightrope. Feel how your ligaments and abdomen tighten slightly as you make shorter, inline steps.
Turn and walk down the hallway again, this time keeping your feet closer together, with toes consistently stepping on the ankle of the feet in front as you walk.
Make this more challenging by walking down the hallway in the same way while turning your head from side to side. This can be tricky at any age as your senses rely on visual signals.
Another way to test your visual signals is to "walk the tightrope" while holding a book. This exercise is demonstrated in the video above.
Resistance training for seniors: heel and toe raises
- Stand behind a chair, grabbing the chair’s back, with your feet together but not touching.
- Stand on your toes and count to three.
- Do ten repetitions of this and you'll feel it in the back of the calf muscles.
- Now stand on your heels, stretching the arch of the foot, lower back down.
- Repeat this stretch for up to ten repetitions.
In the first set of repetitions you are rising and lowering steadily but in the second set you are emphasizing balancing on your heels.
Many simple everyday props can be used in resistance training for elderly practitioners. For example, stability balls or exercise bands are an excellent, relatively inexpensive and fun way to take in some exercise. The key is daily discipline.
Chris outlines many more exercises for the elderly in his collection of exercises to improve balance and avoid falls.
Other great exercise activities for seniors
The best way to maintain discipline and add joy to exercise is to join a class with others. It makes it fun and social and encourages you to keep an exercise routine.
Golf involves plenty of walking, as well as the exercise of hitting the ball (and walking through the long grass in the rough, looking for your ball).
Tai Chi is a low impact exercise regimen. It keeps you loose and is a gentle way of exercising and moving your body.
Chair yoga is low impact exercise that improves strength, mobility, balance, and flexibility.
Cycling is a gentle way of exercising your cardiovascular system while going easy on your joints, for seniors with arthritis. It’s a great way to get fresh air in summer and you can use an exercise bike in winter.
Pilates is low-impact, focused on breathing, alignment, concentration, and core strength. You can build and maintain strength without any high-impact stress. It improves balance, core strength, and flexibility in older adults. Great exercises include foot slides, leg circles, mermaid movements, side circles, and step-ups.
Swimming provides a full-body, low-impact exercise that improves heart health and joint mobility. Water’s resistance builds strength without weights.
Working out is the typical way of exercising for people of any age. A typical workout consists of time jogging on a treadmill mixed with basic weight training and strength training.
