Exercise for Seniors
An active generation
Today, older people lead more active lives than previous generations. Intending to make retirement a time to do all those things which took a back seat as they forged careers, raised families and in general tried to keep up with the normal pace of life.
However, the years take a toll on our bodies and suddenly we all realise that we are no longer the fit Gods we once were. So independence in later life is important and staying active plays a huge part in this.
Increasingly as we age our bodily changes are so small we do not recognise them until suddenly the shopping bags feel heavier, that golf swing is not as strong, the grandchildren are too lively and an enjoyable walk becomes a trek!
SAGA provides information devoted to the problems of Sarcopenia or Muscle Loss with interesting facts. Giving details to support how important stopping this process is for functional strength and ensuring your brains neural pathways are being used.
If strength is reduced, your activity levels are reduced, fat gains increase, your mental state declines, activities become more difficult and the downward spiral exacerbates as the symptoms of ageing increase.
The “I cannot be bothered” syndrome becomes more prevalent.
