Older Persons Week, held annually in South Africa from September 26 to October 2, is a time to honor our seniors and highlight the importance of health and well-being in later life.
As we age, staying active becomes crucial for maintaining both physical and mental health. Regular exercise can help prevent or delay common age-related health issues, improve mood, memory, and overall well-being. If you're unsure where to begin, consulting a biokineticist can provide tailored advice to help you start exercising safely and effectively.
Key benefits of exercise for those aged 65 and older include:
• Helping you manage or lose weight, even as metabolism slows down.
• Reducing the risk of chronic illnesses and managing existing conditions.
• Improving mobility, flexibility, and balance, leading to a more active lifestyle.
• Enhancing mental well-being, including better sleep, mood, confidence, and reduced anxiety.
A biokineticist will guide you through personalized exercises based on the four key pillars of fitness:
1. Balance
2. Cardiovascular health
3. Strength and power training
4. Flexibility
