As you get older, you may find it more difficult to stay in shape and maintain your flexibility. Your limited range of motion can put you at risk of suffering injuries when you walk, climb stairs or try to lift anything heavy.
You may want to start exercising on a daily basis so you can lower your risk of injuries and prolong your life. You can find out what exercises to do and how to maintain a certain level of fitness for your age by hiring an ACSM-certified clinical exercise physiologist to design an exercise program for you.
Age Appropriate Exercises
If you are middle aged or elderly, you may be unable to maintain an exercise regimen designed for people in their 20s and 30s. You may need one that is more appropriate for your age and state of health.
The physiologist you hire to design your fitness program can create one that has exercises you can realistically do each day. They may also be safe and not put you at risk of suffering injuries like a broken hip or dislocated shoulder.
You can also have a program created that you can sustain each day. You may find it easier to work out when you have a plan designed just for you.
An ACSM-certified clinical exercise physiologist can create a plan tailored to your age and level of fitness and capabilities. You may find it easier to maintain and benefit from it.
