  ingredients of a healthy lifestyle and overall
  wellbeing. A workout routine is highly
  recommended in order for seniors to stay
  physically fit and healthy all the time.

  retirement life fun and active. Thats why we put

• As we approach the fall season, we are going to
  share with you some simple and easy to do
  exercises that are recommended for 55 seniors.
• Chair yoga
• For seniors, rigorous high-impact exercises are
  never recommended. Chair yoga is one of the best
  low-impact exercises that seniors of 55 can
  engage in routinely to build body muscles,
  improve flexibility, mobility, and body balance.
  Chair yoga also helps in improving the mental
  health of seniors as it incorporates meditation.

• Brisk walking
• Brisk walking is a low-impact aerobic exercise
  that works well for seniors by stretching their
  muscles without hurting the joints.
• Its a good substitute for older adults who have
  problems with jogging. To achieve meaningful
  fitness results, one must master the technique of
  changing the legs fast, increasing strides, and
  maintaining a good posture.

5

• Arm weights
• When you lift arm weights, you will strengthen
  your hand and upper back muscles. A stronger
  upper body and shoulders help your body achieve a
  great posture.
• For older adults, its advisable to start doing
  arm weights while seated in a chair. You can
  later start lifting arm weights while standing
  when your hand muscles strengthen.

6

• Stationary cycling
• Riding stationary bicycles is a simple yet
  effective exercise that is ideal for seniors.
• At our various Connect55community centers, we
  have modern stationery bikes at members
  disposal. This aerobic exercise puts minimal
  pressure on your body joints and therefore, there
  is no worry for injuries compared to real cycling
  outdoors.

7

• Routine stretching
• Stretching your body should be done on a daily
  basis. When you stretch your body muscles, you
  feel refreshed and relaxed. Its important to
  ensure that you have stretched all the muscles
  including the neck, legs, back, arms, chest, and
  abdomen.
• Doing routine stretching gives your body
  much-needed flexibility, balance, and strength.

8

• Pilates
• Another simple low-impact exercise that seniors
  can do in the fall season is Pirates. All you
  need to have are mats, pirate balls, and other
  inflatable equipment. Seniors can do leg and side
  circles, mermaid movement, side ups, food slides.
• Pirates exercise helps in improving balance,
  flexibility, and overall body strength.

9

• Resistance bands workouts
• Resistance bands workouts are easy and simple
  indoor exercises that seniors can use to build
  body muscles, posture, and mobility.
• Most common forms of resistance bands workout for
  seniors range from lateral raise, bicep curl,
  leg press, band pull apart, and triceps press.
  Its ideal for beginners or seniors who are
  getting back to workouts.
