Exercising is not only beneficial to our physical health, but it has advantages to our overall wellness. It improves your sleep, boosts your mood, and is good for the brain. Older adults should start with intensive workouts and should always approach with caution at first and work their way up.
Although exercise is great, any preexisting conditions might put you in potential danger, so it is important to first get medical clearance from your doctor. After that, build up the exercise program slowly. Begin with shorter increments like 10 minutes twice a day, then when fitness improves, add more time and intensity to the program. Most importantly, you must stay committed at first. It usually takes about a month of exercise before it becomes a habit, so try to focus on short-term goals to stay motivated and allow it to become a routine at the end.
