More information about fitness activities for senior

As we age, it's important to keep active by practicing sports frequently to reduce the risk of injury. However, we tend to become more sedentary. Getting into an age-appropriate sports routine is ideal for working on our balance, combating excess weight, reducing the risk of falls and keeping heart problems and high cholesterol under control. Additionally, regular exercise plays a vital role in fighting osteoporosis, enhancing the immune system, and preserving muscle mass.

Sports are not exclusive to the young; in fact, they offer significant short and long-term benefits, particularly for the elderly. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a minimum of 150 minutes per week of moderate activity for a beneficial program. To maximise advantages, this can be increased to 300 minutes per week. This translates to a manageable 30 minutes of exercise per day, five days a week, meeting the recommended requirements.

Seniors can experience numerous benefits from regular exercise, including improved cardiovascular health, regulated blood pressure and diabetes, reduced risks of certain cancers, prevention of fall-related injuries, enhanced balance, and better sleep. It goes beyond just physical fitness; regular exercise contributes to an overall improvement in health, allowing seniors to make the most of their retirement years.

The best thing to do is to choose among soft disciplines such as yoga, Nordic walking, gymnastics, aquagym, tai chi chuan and outdoor activities like biking. The most important thing is to choose an activity that will not hurt your joints or your back. You can also get help from a personal trainer at your local fitness club in Brussels who will build you a personalised program and help you get through your sessions without hurting yourself.
