Maintaining your fitness level as you get older can be challenging! You may feel like you just can’t move like when you were younger, or you may be scared of getting injured or having a fall. Or you haven’t been exercising much previously and don’t really know where to start. You may now have aches and pains you haven’t had before or could just genuinely not like exercising at all. Starting out with a new fitness routine at an older age can be highly challenging and daunting if you’re just doing it on your own!
Seniors fitness solution
There are solutions to these issues, but they can be difficult to solve. It can help if you think of it this way. Could regular exercise make the quality of your life better? The simple answer is YES! Studies show that physical activity can help seniors manage their weight, improve their mood, help prevent falls, reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease and also help them become more confident and independent in daily life.
Sometimes the hardest part is starting out! Once exercise is a part of the daily routine, it will become a lot easier to maintain. The more you build up your fitness, the better you’ll feel about yourself and your abilities.
Start out with fitness
If motivation is a struggle for you, you could try to get yourself an exercise buddy! When you have someone to go on walks with, you can socialise and work out at the same time. Plus, you’re less likely to cancel when your buddy is counting on you! Sometimes a little push is all you need to get yourself going. It might just get you started with your fitness and before you know it you could be feeling better you felt in years!
If you still feel like you don’t know where to start, you could get a mobile Personal Trainer to come to you to help you get going.
