While exercise is important for those of all ages in senior home care, older adults will find that actively exercising is a challenge. A good solution for many seniors is to start doing aerobic exercises, which can boost daily activity levels and raise heart rate.

There are four categories of aerobic exercise: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. By developing a daily regimen and switching up the area with our comfort care services, your loved one can decrease the risk of injury while exercising the whole body. Before beginning any exercise regimen, your loved one should ask his or her doctor.

  • Walking:
    One of the easiest aerobic exercises to do is walking. Not only is it easy on joints, but it also improves heart health. After walking, it is important to make sure your loved one stretches. This can prevent soreness and future injury.
  • Water Aerobics:
    Mainly for strength, water aerobics has positive effects on cardiovascular health as well. The properties of water build strength and relieve pain caused by exercise.
  • Yoga:
    Yoga combines elements of all four categories. It improves blood pressure, bone strength, and weight maintenance. Yoga can be done individually or in a class setting.  
  • Tai Chi:
    More of a meditation, Tai Chi helps with flexibility and balance. It’s a favorite of seniors because of the slow movements required. This makes it easy on joints and helps with pain in the knee, ankle, or hip pain.
