Senior Fitness Tips

When it comes to aches and pains in seniors, easy-to-do moves like torso twists, side bends, neck rotations, shoulder shrugs, and ankle circles can make a big difference. Add in some walking, swimming, cycling and weight-appropriate strength training to see an improvement in well-being and mood while reducing the risk of falls and other progressive ailments.

Pain relief for seniors is about being proactive. By being mindful throughout the day and night, you can take a few extra measures to ensure muscles and joints are engaged, helping to improve health, balance, mood, and vitality.

And to boost your efforts even more, practice deep breathing… trust us!
