New Delhi: You must have heard of the expression – “Age is a matter of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” It is often said that age is a number and that old age should not be synonymous with a dull life. However, there is no denying the restrictions that old age can place on one’s life. These limitations can be exhibited by physical and mental health.

Aging is an inevitable process, but there is always a way to slow it down. The way lies in the regulation of diet and lifestyle. Exercise is a great way to improve health and help with longevity. However, exercise can become difficult with advancing age. In these difficult times, it must be remembered that age does not define one’s physical condition.

Fitness tips for seniors

Here are some tips that can help seniors stay fit and kicking:

  1. Do not rush : Starting out on a fitness regimen isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Treat it as a phase that has cycles. Always remember that you will have to start from the bottom before reaching the top. Therefore, it is important to take your time and start slowly. The journey to fitness is a gradual process and rushing it can lead to unhealthy results, futile results, and disappointment.
  2. Define your goals: Before you begin a fitness regimen, it’s important to set long-term and short-term goals. Three factors should be considered when setting goals. First, goals must be realistic. Second, goals should not harm mental health. Third, goals should be practical and not get in the way of lifestyle.
  3. Stay under surveillance: Among the various health benefits offered by exercise, there are a few risks that people need to pay attention to for a safe and healthy fitness journey. Therefore, it is important to follow a fitness regime under the guidance of an expert to avoid the occurrence of complications and unhealthy injuries.
  4. Know what to do and avoid: Old age is when various health complications can begin to take hold of the body. Therefore, before starting a fitness regime, make sure you have a full body examination to come up with the most suitable and safe workout plan. This includes choosing which exercises can be done safely and which exercises should be avoided.
  5. Keep updating your fitness routine: A great way to stick with a fitness regimen is to set a routine that has no scope for monotony. This can be done by regularly updating the fitness routine to meet the body’s needs, achieve fitness goals, and keep working out fun.
