Older adults should do some type of physical activity every day. Any type of activity is good for you. The more you do the better. If you’re an older adult looking to establish an exercise routine, you should, ideally, be able to incorporate 150 minutes of moderate endurance activity into your week. This can include walking, swimming, cycling, and a little bit of time every day to improve strength, flexibility, and balance. This app contains physical activity guidelines for older adults, aged 65 and over, for general health and fitness, including simple workouts and programs for building exercise into your day. Doing exercises to improve your strength, balance and flexibility will help make you stronger and feel more confident on your feet. We added a wide variety of exercises for strength training, stretching and yoga. Tight muscles, stiff joints, and aches and pains: aging can take a toll on your body, but the good news is that stretching can help you feel better. Check out our best stretches for seniors and use them to get moving in a safe way. Yoga provides health benefits for adults of all ages and fitness levels, and seniors can especially benefit from the increased flexibility and balance it offers. No matter your age, it’s never too late to get fit. Our exercises will help you get started safely and make it fun.
