Seniors

  • As elders continue to age, they tend to face
    mobility problems very often. The less mobile
    they become, the more at risk they are for
    illness and injuries which might even lead to
    disability.
  • Improving your range of motion by exercising
    regularly will help to improve your overall
    wellness and quality of life. When seniors live
    an active lifestyle, they will find increased
    coordination, balance and strength which are
    great in preventing falls. In addition to this,
    seniors also experience other benefits as well
    like healthy weight and more energy.
  • Exercise is the ultimate anti-aging medicine,
    here are a few tips to help improve your
    mobility

Make Healthy Food Choices
  • Make an effort to eliminate unhealthy foods
    from your diet such as rich desserts which are
    high in sugar. Whenever you get a craving,
    substitute some high protein snacks or fruits.
    When you eat better, you feel better and that
    eventually leads to feeling more active and
    vibrant.

Make Healthy Food Choices
Once you have added more mobility exercises,
keep exercising even when you feel fatigued. Try
to finish at least 10 minutes of physical
activity and do not forget that doing something
is better than doing nothing at all.

Add Some Activities
  • You can start by being active for at least 10
    minutes a day after consulting with your
    physician. This mean lifting some light weights
    or just taking a walk around the block. As you
    regain more mobility, add some more activities
    until you are able to perform 30 minutes of
    exercise every day.

Get a Good Nights Sleep
  • For your elder loved ones to feel awake and more
    refreshed, it is essential to get a good nights
    sleep. Because without sound sleep, seniors
    become even more prone to falls and accidents
    since they get too tired to stay attentive to
    their surroundings.

Get Yourself Moving In Creative Ways
  • You can include some mobility exercises into
    your daily regimen. For example whenever you are
    watching TV, do a few exercises where there is a
    commercial break, when talking on the phone, take
    a walk around your home. These are just a few
    ways to increase your mobility. You can find many
    more ideas online that help you to increase your
    mobility without it feeling like a workout.
  • If you are searching for ways to improve
    seniors mobility, consider these tips. Improving
    your balance and range of motion will not only
    help you to avoid falls but to live a more
    independent life.
