It becomes a must not only when we are in our younger years but also as we reach our sixties, seventies and older.
For those who haven’t been used to exercise in the past it is always important to attain a clearance from your doctor, and most gyms and professional trainers will make sure you sign a Pre Exercise form, and if you display any potential risk factors they will make you attain a clearance anyway.
Starting your exercise program in your later years will provide so many positive benefits which include:
- Decreasing blood pressure and cholesterol
- Increasing general strength and ability to perform everyday tasks becoming easier
- Increasing in mobility and range of motion in performing everyday tasks
- Increasing level of fitness and lung capacity
- Increasing bone mineral density, making people less succeptible to breaks and fractures
- Increase in metabolism as a result of increased level of lean muscle mass
Remember you’re never too old. Aim to reverse the ageing process and start seeing great results and reclaim back your health and wellbeing.
Happy training!
