The Benefits of Gentle Exercising for Seniors
Exercise is essential to keep seniors healthy in retirement. Regular exercise provides a variety of physical, mental, and emotional benefits for seniors in assisted living. Senior living that offers a modern fitness center and pool for residents encourages a healthy and full life for seniors. Regular exercise can help seniors maintain their muscle strength and mobility, which can help them stay independent and active. Exercise can also help seniors maintain a healthy weight, reduce their risk of chronic diseases, and even improve their mood.
MorningStar at Laurelhurst is a senior living community that offers a fitness center with a variety of equipment. At this senior living community, you can find high-intensity machines such as treadmills, weight machines, and stationary bikes that are safe for seniors. These workouts are great, but gentle exercise is just as beneficial for seniors who experience physical difficulties.
What is Gentle Exercise?
Gentle exercise, or low-impact exercise, includes a range of chair yoga, stretching, walking, and mobility exercises. Being healthy and active doesn’t have to include pushing your body to its limit. Sometimes, all seniors need to be active is intentional stretching and regular movement.
