too late to start exercising. In fact, if you’re an older adult, stepping up your activity level is one of the best ways to improve your health.


Regular exercise is known to reduce the


risk of developing many age-related diseas- es. In a study of older Americans, Harvard researchers found that regular physical ac- tivity can increase life expectancy, even for

folks who don’t begin exercising until the age of 75. In spite of the proven benefits of exer-


cise, most seniors don’t get nearly enough. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly half of older Americans aren’t as active as they should be, and more than a third are completely sedentary. Tere’s a good explanation for this


lack of activity: Te changes that occur with aging can make exercising a lot more challenging as we get older. Excess weight, aches and pains, and low energy levels conspire to keep us glued to the couch. As we grow older, our bodies tend to

have slower reaction times. Because we aren’t able to balance ourselves as well as we could in our youth, we have a higher risk of falling and sustaining a serious in- jury. And because we’re much wiser than


we were as youngsters, we’re far less likely to engage in activities that could result in bodily harm. Some of the most noticeable changes


that occur with aging involve the mus- culoskeletal system. While muscular strength may be well-maintained until the fifth decade of life, it’s not uncommon to experience a 15 percent drop in strength between the fifth and seventh decades. Between the ages of 70 and 80, many sedentary adults experience an additional 30 percent loss of muscle strength. Older adults who are sedentary have a

about the age of 55. By the age of 70, many adults will have lost at least 10 percent to 15 percent of their peak bone mass. Exercise won’t completely stop the


hands of time, but it can help offset many of the not-so-great physical changes that accompany aging. Regular exercise can boost energy levels and significantly en- hance muscle strength, endurance and flexibility. Incorporating strength and balance


training into an exercise program can re- duce the number of falls experienced by older adults. Weight-bearing exercise helps improve


bone density, lowering the risk of osteo- porosis and decreasing the likelihood of debilitating bone fractures. Staying active as you grow older can


help improve symptoms of osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that becomes increasingly common with age. In the Fitness and Arthritis in Seniors


Trial (FAST), researchers evaluated the ef- fects of physical activity in more than 400 older adults diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Te exercising seniors not only suffered less arthritis pain, they showed significant improvements in mobility and strength. Since no single exercise program works


for everyone, it’s best to choose one that you can perform comfortably – and will- ingly. For mature adults, the most effective activities are those that enhance aerobic fitness, balance, muscle strength and flex- ibility.


Swimming, walking, yoga and weight


training are excellent choices, although you may prefer square dancing, golf or bowling. Te key is to choose an activity that is not only safe, but also fun. For more tips on healthy exercis-


ing for older adults, go to Weaverville Yoga.
