Exercise & Mobilty for an Active Lifestyle as we Age


Mobility and flexibility get tougher as we age, our bodies change and we begin to feel limited in our movements.  Aging as well as injuries can put a damper on our active lifestyle, and we begin to struggle with motivation.  Any activity is good for the body, mind and soul it doesn’t have to be high impact, high intensity.  I guess what I’m trying to say, is you don’t have to kill yourself to feel like you are doing something good for your body.  



Every exercise, every movement has some sort of modification.  So if you are immobile, injured or just starting out, there is a modification just for you.  I found this site for ideas on how to get you started on some seated exercises, www.sitandbefit.org.  This fine organization is dedicated  healthy aging advocacy and believes that everyone has the right to feel good and age well - and I couldn't agree more!



Time to motivate and get your body moving.  Remember always check with your doctor and healthcare professional before getting started.




Peace and love-



April
