Exercise. If you read the previous blogs, you would realize that that word has been said for numerous times, stating that it is good for the seniors. It appears like a cliché, hearing the same thing over and over again. And dear, this blog can be related to that, BUT, this shows a different angle of it.

Because exercise is not really about stretching and walking, there are proper ways on how to do the right moves at the right amount of time.

A 30-minute exercise of locomotor movements like walking and jogging are recommended. But it should be lessened for 10 minutes if heart problems start to occur. Push-ups, sit-ups, and other weight-training exercises are also good for seniors, but this should be done only for ten to 15 repetitions. Lastly, stretching activities are good for bones for 10 minutes. There are stretching practices like Yoga and Tai-chi that have been recommended by the experts.
