With a little motivation and priority-setting, we can all find time for 30 minutes of some form of exercise. Some people don't want to exercise because they think exercise is painful. No pain is required of the average person who is exercising for health and fitness. If your goal is for fitness, you will participate in a similar exercise program, but it would be a more aggressive workout. Even with pushing yourself a little more for the fitness workout, you should not be dealing with any pain.
Some older adults think it is too late to begin exercising.
It is never too late. If you are a physically independent older adult but not physically fit and consider yourself a beginning exerciser, start out slowly and work at your own pace. It's important to include light resistance exercise to strengthen the upper and lower body. If you have reservations about health conditions, always check with your physician before you start any exercise program. I'm too tired, too stressed.
