Why should we exercise?
Our body needs exercise to be strong, healthy, and to look nice. Exercise helps tone our muscles, maintains balance, and keeps all our organs functioning properly. Exercise is essential for a human being at any point in life, but different activities are advised for different age groups. A person who is at optimum physical health can do high-intensity exercises. As we grow older, usually, due to age and, maybe, illness, the pace of exercising and the type of activities have to be changed to ensure that it is not taking a toll on the body.
Exercising as you age
A person who has been weight training and doing high endurance and high impact exercise most of their life may have to lessen the intensity of activity as they grow older. After a certain age, it would be wise to consult with a doctor to ensure that the exercises you are doing will not harm you. As we age, our muscles and bones become weaker, and so it is better to lessen weight training and concentrate more on low impact aerobic activity like walking, jogging, swimming, etc.
Pick an activity that keeps you fit but is not a strain on your body.
