Generally, when we consider seniors, we most often think about achy bones, lack of active lifestyle,
fitness, and a variety of health ailments. However, a senior environment and lifestyle can
dramatically affect the wear on body, by either speeding up the process or slowing it down. If your
elderly loved one is leading a lifestyle that include improper diet, little exercise and habits such
as smoking, then you should motivate them to engage themselves in any type of physical activity.
There are many activities for the elderly that can enhance elder health and well being. Find out what
they enjoyed doing in the past. Senior persons are no different than us. They must be having some
favorite physical activity like walking, jogging, hiking or playing any of their much loved sport.
Encourage them to join a senior’s club or center to carry out their favorite physical activity.
You can also spend the time to change the senior’s mindset about activity and exercise. Make sure the
senior understands that how important it is to participate in activities for good health and vitality.
They want to know that others care about them. Also make sure the senior person has taken the advice
of a physician before starting any type of activity of exercise.
