The NIH recommends a series of exercises for older adults and seniors. Senior fitness exercises include strength exercises that will strengthen muscles and increase metabolism. This will keep the weight down and keep sugar and cholesterol levels in check. Balance exercises will build leg muscles thereby avoiding falls. It will also help in moving around without help.
Stretching exercises will allow better movement of extremities. When freedom of movement is present, there will more activity options. This will also alleviate boredom. Endurance is built by daily activities such as walking, swimming, biking and even household chores. This should be done with care as the elderly are more prone to getting tired.
