When it comes to senior fitness, there is not a cookie cutter plan or set of rules. However, depending on the fitness level of the person, some are able to do higher impact activities, while some require lower impact activities. Bone density and flexibility diminish as we age, so it is always advised to be cautious when beginning new fitness routines.
Fitness levels among seniors vary greatly depending on many factors. Age alone is not an indication of fitness level. To determine fitness levels of someone of senior age, the same basic information is used as when gauging anyone's fitness level:
- Previous activities and current activity level
- Health problems, past or present
- Injuries, past or present
Knowing basic health information can aid in creating a personalized fitness routine that will allow safe activity no matter the age of the person.
If you are beginning a fitness routine for the first time as a senior, it is best to begin with low impact options such as walking. Fitness levels may increase in seniors, but many times at a much slower rate than their younger counterparts. It is best to consult not only with a doctor, but a fitness professional when beginning a fitness routine. This will allow not only a safe, but effective plan to keep active at any age.
