Staying physically active is incredibly important for this demographic to promote healthy aging. Physical activity (including cardio and strength training) can help reduce chronic disease, prevent injuries, reduce falls, improve cognition and quality of life, decrease cardiovascular risk factors, improve muscle performance, and increase active life expectancy.
Resistance training is extremely beneficial for older adults because it improves muscle strength, decreases fat-free mass, and increases bone density. Additionally, resistance training helps to correct postural imbalances and reduce the incidence of falls or serious injuries if a fall does occur. Overall, resistance training can improve the health and quality of life of an older adult.
A well-rounded workout program that combines strength training, cardio, balance, and flexibility will help senior client stay healthy and improve their quality of life.
