Senior Exercise for the Young at Heart

By Keesa Renee DuPre

Many seniors find once they reach retirement age that they finally have the time—and, if they planned well, the money—to do the things they´ve always wanted to do, whether that be travel around the world or take pottery classes at the local community college. Unfortunately, while their minds may still be sharp as a tack, their bodies are just starting to let them down in a multitude of little ways; aches, pains, arthritis, etc. These physical limitations will only get worse with time. That´s the bad news.

The good news is, senior exercise can prevent many little health problems that would otherwise be an annoyance at best, and possibly even life-threatening at worst. From the time a person is over 50, exercise should play a guiding role in arranging their schedule. Fifty is no longer "old age;" why let your body think it is?

If you are looking towards retirement, or perhaps already retired, you should look into finding senior exercise programs that match your level of fitness and challenge you to do a little more than before. As with 20- and 30-year-olds, there´s a fine line to walk between challenging your body and damaging your body. This is where a senior exercise program or a personal trainer can come in handy. If you live in a large city, chances are good that your local community center will have

But suppose it doesn´t? Alternately, suppose their "senior exercise" programs are geared towards people who are less physically fit than you are, or more fit? If you find yourself in a situation where the exercises are too challenging, you should explain the situation to the instructor and see if s/he offers gentle or "beginners" programs, or if s/he can recommend someone who does. Know your body´s limits. Exercise that´s a little more strenuous than you´re accustomed to prevents health problems; exercise that´s much more strenuous can cause them. You don´t want to damage your body trying to keep it healthy!
