Seniors How to Be Fit and Stay Fit ?

Being fit means having the ability to withstand physical exertion, including force (effort to cope), endurance (or ability to pursue), flexibility (the ability to move and bend with ease), coordination (or ability to integrate various movements) and finally the balance.


Fitness and maintaining it require an ongoing effort, but it is much easier when you have the habit of exercising regularly. If you doubt the usefulness of the thing, remember that maintaining the form is essential to continue to provide daily activities and keep your independence.

If you are not in good shape, have the objective of improving the state slowly and gradually. You will find below some practical suggestions.




Our fitness effort declines slowly with age, but most of us have far more resources than we use, even at an advanced age. Do not assimilate your body to a machine that wears out over time and do not spare you constantly, just because you get older. On the contrary, the more you use your body - within reason of course - the more it becomes able to act effectively.
Regular exercise and a fairly strong results in the following benefits :


*You feel healthier, more positive, more confident and you have more energy.
*Your ability to concentrate, as well as your appetite and improve sleep.
*Your balance and motor coordination are better.
*The risk of heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis subside.
*By preserving your muscle mass, functional decline associated with age is delayed and limited.
*You look younger, you feel better and more alert.

All this is obviously good for morale

Try to practice every day or almost any 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise. This practice should feel comfortable, as ordinary as eating, brushing your hair or brushing your teeth - not a chore that you takes time. Those who regularly practice this type of exercise or sports training know that there are a huge variety. It is therefore possible to choose the activity, as we shall see.

Some Precautions :

*If you decide to exercise regularly without the habit of this kind of practice, first consult your doctor:
*If you have more than sixty years,
*If you have an illness or disability, or taking medications.
*If you smoke - stop or at least reduce your intake.
*If you are overweight, try for yourself to lose weight.
*Do not exercise when you feel tired or very little, or just after a big meal.
*Choose a progressive exercise program. Make regular sessions demanding you to follow this balanced *program. Avoid irregular sessions require you to strenuous exercise. The older you are (e), and the *progression and regular exercise are important.
*Do not be impatient (e) - the fitness can take several weeks.

Some Ways of  Taking Exercise :

Rather than taking the car or bus, walk to the mall or at your office, if they are not too far away.
Gradually increase your pace of implementation, or the distance traveled, and introduce more challenging routes.
When you do not have to climb a few floors in the habit of taking the stairs instead of the elevator rise is good for your heart, lungs and muscles of your legs. However, be careful (e) if you have heart problems, musculoskeletal or balance.

Fitness, Fitness and Exercise :

Domestic activities and gardening are welcome source of physical movements. But be careful to avoid awkward postures - eg, hunched too long - or overexertion in lifting objects or digging in the earth. Adopt attitudes more ergonomic and equally effective.
Brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling and gymnastics classes can be an opportunity for further practice and often more convenient.
Yoga and tai chi can be practiced at any age, and continued later in life. As they improve both balance and physical well-being and mental preparation are particularly suitable for healthy aging.
The finding that decreases your level of performance is not a sufficient reason to abandon competitive sports such as golf or tennis. Their practice is good and the entertainment can be enjoyed in themselves rather than their competitive aspect. Looking for partners to your level.
