Given that regular exercise can improve your life in so many ways, it’s important to exercise in a way that is both safe and sustainable.
As a senior, it’s important to give your body time to adjust to any lifestyle changes you make. Always speak with your physician before you begin an exercise regimen, as you may need to adjust your workouts to accommodate certain health conditions. This recommendation includes any physical activities you participate in while living in our senior living apartments.
You’re not alone if you have a difficult time finding the motivation to stick to a routine. Many older Americans have a hard time staying motivated in the gym, and finding a workout buddy is a great way to help yourself stay on track. Whether you meet each other for walks or group fitness classes held at our assisted living apartments, having another person to keep you accountable is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy routine!
