Physical activity is important – at every age. Getting started exercising doesn’t have to be difficult but it does require a little knowledge to do it right. Before you start an exercise program, we need to consider several things.
Advancing age is not for the faint of heart. The body goes through even more changes than when you experienced puberty. Your body can even seem like an old car whose parts are starting to fail. Everything seems to begin to deteriorate at once. The idea is to slow the rate of these changes and enjoy the greatest quality of life you can for as long as you can.
You are not a stove or dryer, but your body is a machine. To keep it running in tiptop shape for your entire life, it needs the right amount of maintenance and attention. When we were twenty five, exercise was not as crucial, but as we age beyond fifty years, lack of exercise will cause us to deteriorate rapidly.
Don’t fret though. The human body responds positively to good nutrition and physical activity. You can feel invigorated even after you get older, but with more wisdom about how to keep your body running smoothly.
So let’s learn several things to do before you begin an exercise program, especially if you have been living a sedentary life for some time.
1. At first, visit your physician and get a physical exam, this is very important. As we age, our bodies change. We are prone to different problems and conditions. Checking with a doctor can ensure that you are in the best health possible to be starting an exercise routine. Your physician will be able to guide you with any necessary dietary and exercise restrictions.
2. Know your limitations – No one likes to admit that there are things they can’t do but it will keep you from getting injured or worse. If you have joint problems, find exercises that work the muscles without putting undue stress on the knees, hips, shoulders, lower back, or elbows.
3. Start slowly – We can all learn something from the story of the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady progress really does have the best benefits, the benefits of being fit for life. You are most likely to keep exercising when you ease into it and find the pace you are most comfortable with.
4. Investigate what activities you can perform based on you individual health condition and limitations. Based on your medical clearance and any limitations you currently have, choose an exercise that will give you the benefits without causing you further injury or distress.
5. Carefully consider you nutritional status, exercise will not help you much if your nutrition is poor. Learn how to adjust your eating habits to make every move and every meal count. Of course you need to eat properly and quickly lose weight if you need to in order to maximize your health prospects.
6. If you are overweight consider engaging in a weight loss program – Excess body weight is the cause of numerous, if not the majority of health problems you can encounter and being overweight will cause you to deteriorate at a much faster rate than you otherwise would

Now that we have discussed several things that you should do before you get started, we will dispel several myths about exercise in older adults. Remember, dieting and exercise will work to significantly slow that rate of physical decline that all of us experience as we age. It will also service to enhance your quality of life, so you can get greater enjoyment out of your “golden” years. Diet and exercise is most important for those of us over fifty years old because the rate of decline in bodily function is accelerated in these years and your ability to minimize these changes is greatest if you keep your body active during this period of your life.
If you are an older adult, it is important for you to know that those negative stories about starting an exercise program are not quite true.
Why does getting older have to mean that you are relegated to a rocking chair? No one wants to be put out to pasture unless they are a cow. Since you are not, getting older doesn’t have to deprive you of your independence or your independence.
Seniors can improve the quality of their lives with physical activity. Fitness is important to everyone regardless of age. You will be able to experience positive changes as you improve your physical condition.
The younger generation seems to be adopting a sedentary lifestyle now. They spend countless hours, sedentary, playing video games. As a roll model, you can set an example to the youth of today that getting and staying healthy is the best way to have the life that you want.
To get you moving and motivated, we have to dispel myths about exercise and age.
1. “I am too old to start working out.” This is not true. You are never too old to engage in some sort of physical activity to improve your health. To begin with, you may have some exercise restrictions, based on your current physical condition, but that should not deter you from proceding.
2. “Aerobic exercise is too demanding and I could break a hip.” Many hip fractures in the elderly are due to falls not exercising. And, aerobics doesn’t have to be a high impact, jumping-jack session. Light aerobic activity will condition your body to that you can engage in more intense activity as you progress. By the way, aerobics are a great way to enjoy rapid weight loss and the benefits that accrue from losing weight.
3. “Exercise at my age will cause heart problems.” Exercise can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease, but it is important to check with your doctor before starting any exercise program to ensure that you do not exceed your particular physical limitations. Stay with your physician’s recommendations and you will be more likely to be successful.
4. “I weigh too much.” This is one of the best reasons to exercise. It is true that our metabolisms slow down as we age, but that can also be corrected with proper diet and strength training exercises. You can still lose weight and feel great. There are always exercises that you can if you’re overweight until you feel comfortable doing more.
5. “I will hurt myself if I lift weights.” Strength training is the best way to elevate your metabolism, and strenthen your bones to prevent fractures. You can start with dumbbells weighing as little as 2 pounds each and do simple exercises that will result in toned muscles and strengthened bones.
What have you been told about exercise? If it is any of the above quotes, then you have fallen for the myth. If you want to get active, go ahead. Become fit for life!
