Live healthy and long
From Dr. Mercola fitness | May 17 2013
Many senior Americans do not get enough exercise (or visit the gym)
I met a senior citizen today who said he is joining a triathlon. I cant now. I hate the swimming part. But I can do the bike and the running part.
The seniors can do strength training, high intensity interval training or engage in yoga.
Benefits of exercise are:
l. Improved sleep;
2. Preventing falls and fractures;
3. Improved mood and mental health;
4. Reducing risk of medical condition as heart disease, dementia, Type 2 diabetes depression, cancer and other types of premature death
It is never too late to exercise. I have seen plenty of senior citizen and converse with them, over 60 who can still bike up Antipolo and are very strong (ehem like me)
