  2. Welcome! Doing regular physical activity is important no matter what age you are. Moving your body and getting your blood pumping to benefit you not just physically but also mentally. However, keeping up with regular physical activities can get more challenging as we age. As we get older, changes in our bodies can limit and slow down our movement. However, this should not stop independent and assisted living residents from trying different ways to get physical. According to the CDC, older adults ages 65 and older only need 150 minutes (about 2 and a half hours) per week of moderate-intensity activity. It only takes 30 mins of physical movement a day for 5 days to keep you healthy and strong. Luckily, fitness programs are integrated into leisure & recreation programs of retirement communities. These benefit older adults in a variety of ways: · Keep bodies strong, flexible, and mobile · Maintain healthy bones and joints · Improve balance · Enhance mood and mental wellbeing · Reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, stroke, and heart disease Protecting Heart Health in Oakville’s Best Retirement Homes One of the best benefits of physical activities and exercise is keeping various heart conditions at bay. This is crucial, especially since 1 out of 12 people in Canada aged 20 and over live with diagnosed heart disease, according to data from the Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System (CCDSS).

  3. 1. Walking – one of the easiest exercises to do daily. This increases your heart rate and lower stress levels. It can also be done indoors and outdoors. 2. Weightlifting – perfect for those who are not fond of cardio. Properly lifting weights increases lean muscle mass throughout the body. This reduces the pressure on your arteries, reducing the chances of heart-related issues. 3. Dancing – another cardio exercise that is fun and exciting to do. You are free to move at your own pace and get the exercise you need. 4. Yoga – helps strengthen and tone your muscles. It is also a calming activity that lowers your blood pressure. 5. Water Exercises – this improves your blood pressure, heart rate, and how your body uses oxygen. There are various exercises you can do, from swimming to water aerobics, and more.
