Caregivers Can Help Elders Exercise and Get Healthy Fit

The most rewarding part of beginning a fitness routine is noticing the difference it makes in the rest of your life. Even if an elder begins exercising with a few simple stretches while seated or a short walk around the block, you’ll notice an improvement in how you feel as you go about your day.

Many elders reject exercise because they assume that they are too weak or frail to support a proper exercise regime. Nothing could be further from the truth! Exercise is possible for people of all ages, body types, and conditions.

When you're new to fitness at an older age, consider asking your live in caregiver to try these activities:

·  Window shop while walking laps at the mall

·  Get competitive while playing tennis

·  Take photographs on a nature hike

·  Meet new people at a yoga class

·  Watch a favorite movie while on the treadmill

·  Chat with a friend while walking, stretching, or strength training

·  Listen to music while lifting weights
