What are good exercises for seniors?

There are many exercises that are appropriate for seniors, including:

1. Walking: Walking is a low-impact exercise that is easy to do and provides cardiovascular benefits. Seniors can start with short walks and gradually increase the duration and distance.

2. Swimming: Swimming is a great exercise that is gentle on the joints and provides a full-body workout. Seniors can participate in water aerobics or swim laps.

It is important for seniors to consult with their doctor before starting an exercise program, especially if they have any medical conditions or physical limitations. A certified fitness instructor who specializes in working with seniors can also provide guidance and support in developing an appropriate exercise program.

At Senior Fitness Finder, we try to pair senior communities with fitness professionals to provide fitness programs and training to their community members
