Seniors need to have strong and healthy legs to live an active and independent lifestyle. Strong legs increase stability, improve balance, and lower the chance of falling.However, as we age, our muscle mass declines, and our joints stiffen. Regular exercise, on the other hand, can help to reverse these effects and enhance overall leg strength.

How to Start on a Fitness Program
How to Start on a Fitness Program Laurence Tabanao Gayao MD Are you thinking about starting a fitness program? Good for you! You're only five steps away from a healthier lifestyle. Starting a fitness program is one of the best things I have done for my health. After I retired from working full time as an emergency physician I was overweight, blood pressure was high, had low energy level, loss my balance and with no warning and fell a few times. Since I started my physical fitness 8 years ago personally it made a great difference in my life. It has been shown that physical activity can reduce your risk of chronic disease, improve your balance and coordination, help you lose weight — and even improve your sleep habits and self-esteem. It not only slows down the effects of aging but also reverses them. Among elderly, physical fitness helps one to live independently for a longer period. Before each visit to my primary physician some of the pre-visit information I have to provide is how much exercise do, how many accidental falls, and problems in moving around since my last.

Squatting exercise good for strengthening the legs and improving balance. (Photo Mystocknation) We all know the importance of exercise. I’m sure you heard people advise you or others to get into a fitness program, but never tell you or them how to get started. I know very well first hand because as physician I was guilty of doing that. Now, I give them a printout on how to them get started. Well, the good news is you can start a fitness program in only five steps. - Assess your fitness level You probably have some idea of how fit you are. This is key step people skip when going into a fitness program on their own. But assessing and recording baseline fitness scores can give you benchmarks against which to measure your progress. To assess your aerobic and muscular fitness, flexibility, and body composition, consider recording: - Your pulse rate before and immediately after walking 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) - How long it takes to walk 1 mile, or how long it takes to run 1.5 miles (2.41 kilometers) - How many standard or modified pushups you can do at a time - How far you can reach forward while seated on the floor with your legs in front of you - Your waist circumference, just above your hipbones - Your body mass index (BMI)   - Design your fitness program It's easy to say that you'll exercise every day. But you'll need a plan. As you design your fitness program, keep these points in mind: - Consider your fitness goals. Are you starting a fitness program to help lose weight? Or do you have another motivation, such as preparing for a marathon? Having clear goals can help you gauge your progress and stay motivated. - Create a balanced routine. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week. To provide even greater health benefit and to assist with weight loss or maintaining weight loss, at least 300 minutes a week is recommended. But even small amounts of physical activity are helpful. Being active for short periods of time throughout the day can add up to provide health benefit. It is said any exercise is good exercise. - Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Aim to do a single set of each exercise, using a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions. - Start low and progress slowly. If you're just beginning to exercise, start cautiously and progress slowly. If you have an injury or a medical condition, consult your doctor or an exercise therapist for help designing a fitness program that gradually improves your range of motion, strength and endurance. When I started I would get dizzy and short of breath just walking for a short distance so I had to pace myself till I was able briskly for 30 minutes continuously. - Build activity into your daily routine. Finding time to exercise can be a challenge. To make it easier, schedule time to exercise as you would any other appointment. Plan to watch your favorite show while walking on the treadmill, read while riding a stationary bike, or take a break to go on a walk at work. - Plan to include different activities. Different activities (cross-training) can keep exercise boredom at bay. Cross-training using low-impact forms of activity, such as biking or water exercise, also reduces your chances of injuring or overusing one specific muscle or joint. Plan to alternate among activities that emphasize different parts of your body, such as walking, swimming and strength training. - Find activities you enjoy.In general, find something new that you enjoy or activities you enjoyed in the past, and get moving. You might try walking, bicycling, sports, dancing or palates. And if you can find friends who will exercise with you, all the better. You’ll help motivate each other - Try high-interval intensity training. In high-interval intensity training, you perform short bursts of high-intensity activity separated by recovery periods of low-intensity activity. - Allow time for recovery. Many people start exercising with frenzied zeal — working out too long or too intensely — and give up when their muscles and joints become sore or injured. Plan time between sessions for your body to rest and recover - Put it on paper. A written plan may encourage you to stay on track.   - Assemble your equipment You'll probably start with athletic shoes. Be sure to pick shoes designed for the activity you have in mind. For example, running shoes are lighter in weight than cross-training shoes, which are more supportive. If you're planning to invest in exercise equipment, choose something that's practical, enjoyable and easy to use. You may want to try out certain types of equipment at a fitness center before investing in your own equipment. You might consider using fitness apps for smart devices or other activity tracking devices, such as ones that can track your distance, track calories burned or monitor your heart rate.   - Get started Now you're ready for action. As you begin your fitness program, keep these tips in mind: - Start slowly and build up gradually.Give yourself plenty of time to warm up and cool down with easy walking or gentle stretching. Then speed up to a pace you can continue for five to 10 minutes without getting overly tired. As your stamina improves, gradually increase the amount of time you exercise. Work your way up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week. - Break things up if you have to.You don't have to do all your exercise at one time, so you can weave in activity throughout your day. Shorter but more-frequent sessions have aerobic benefits, too. Exercising in short sessions a few times a day may fit into your schedule better than a single 30-minute session. Any amount of activity is better than none at all. - Be creative.Maybe your workout routine includes various activities, such as walking, bicycling or rowing. But don't stop there. Take a weekend hike with your family or spend an evening ballroom dancing. Find activities you enjoy to add to your fitness routine. - Listen to your body.If you feel pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or nausea, take a break. You may be pushing yourself too hard. This is very important to remember. - Be flexible.If you're not feeling good, give yourself permission to take a day or two off. For me having these breaks keeps the fitness program from feeling like a burden that I have to do, resulting in being no longer a fun activity.   - Monitor your progress Retake your personal fitness assessment six weeks after you start your program and then again every few months. You may notice that you need to increase the amount of time you exercise in order to continue improving. Or you may be pleasantly surprised to find that you're exercising just the right amount to meet your fitness goals. If you lose motivation, set new goals or try a new activity. Exercising with a friend or taking a class at a fitness center may help. If you need to, you could hire personal trainer to guide and motivate you. Starting an exercise program is an important decision. But it doesn't have to be an overwhelming one. By planning carefully and pacing yourself, you can establish a healthy habit that lasts a lifetime. For Senior Citizens As a group, we are strong and capable of change, but we’re often viewed as fragile. Many relegated us to the rocking chair and with not much else is expected. I hope that more folks my age embrace being pushed and appreciate that someone is interested in seeing us try harder. Although I am very self-motivated I appreciate all my children, who are into physical fitness, checking and encouraging me and wife on our physical fitness program. We realize that we can’t turn back the clock, but we can wind it up again. Let’s have more fun than just sitting back and watching the sunset of our lives fad into oblivion.   Invest time and effort to keep in shape your most important assets in life, your mind and body, you’ll never regret it.    Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.   3 John 5:2 New International Version           Read the full article

Want to stay steady on your feet? Discover the power of exercise in reducing fall risks as you age!
Tumblr media
Want to stay steady on your feet? Discover the power of exercise in reducing fall risks as you age! Want to stay steady on your feet? Discover the power of exercise in reducing fall risks as you age! For many people, the fear of falling can be a significant concern as they age. One fall can result in serious injuries that can lead to a reduction in mobility and independence. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the risk of falling, and one of them is regular exercise. Why are falls so prevalent among older adults? Falls are a common occurrence among older adults, and the statistics are concerning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every four older adults fall every year. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall-related injury, and every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. There are several reasons why falls are so prevalent among older adults, including: • Reduced physical activity • Balance issues • Reduced muscle strength and flexibility • Changes in vision and hearing • Medications that affect balance and coordination • Chronic conditions such as arthritis, Parkinson's, and osteoporosis How does exercise reduce the risk of falling? Exercise has numerous benefits for older adults, including reducing the risk of falls. Research shows that regular exercise can: • Improve balance and coordination • Increase muscle strength and flexibility • Improve endurance and cardiovascular health • Reduce the risk of chronic diseases • Enhance cognitive function • Boost confidence and mood Regular exercise can also help you maintain a healthy weight, which can reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. What types of exercise are best for reducing the risk of falling? There are various types of exercise that can help reduce the risk of falling, including: • Strength training: This type of exercise involves using weights or resistance bands to build muscle strength. Stronger muscles mean better balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls. • Balance training: Balance exercises can be done in a variety of ways, such as standing on one foot or practicing yoga poses. These exercises help improve your balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls. • Cardiovascular exercise: Activities such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming can improve your endurance and cardiovascular health, which can reduce the risk of falls. • Flexibility and stretching: Maintaining flexibility through stretching exercises can help improve your mobility and reduce the risk of injuries from falls. Final thoughts Staying active and engaging in regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of falls as you age. You can begin by incorporating simple exercises into your daily routine, such as taking a brisk walk or doing some stretches. It's never too late to start exercising to improve your health and reduce the risk of falls. Remember to speak with your doctor before starting any new exercise program, and find a type of exercise that you enjoy to stay motivated. #FallPrevention #ExerciseForSeniors #SeniorHealth #HealthyAging #ActiveLifestyle Summary: Falling is a significant concern for older adults as they age. The good news is that regular exercise can significantly reduce the risk of falls. Exercise can improve balance, coordination, muscle strength, and flexibility, which can reduce the risk of injury from falls. Types of exercises that can help reduce falling risks include strength training, balance training, cardiovascular exercise, and stretching.
