Exercise is important for older people. Some seniors share their exercise habits
- A new CDC report finds that more than 85% of U.S. adults 65 and older are not getting enough exercise. All adults should get moderate aerobic activity and weight or resistance training every week.
The article from NPR, published on November 29, 2024, discusses the importance of exercise for older adults and features insights from several seniors about their exercise habits. It highlights how regular physical activity can significantly improve quality of life, mobility, and mental health in the elderly. Seniors interviewed share diverse routines, from swimming and yoga to strength training and walking, emphasizing that exercise doesn't have to be strenuous to be beneficial. They discuss the social aspects of group activities, the necessity of adapting exercises to accommodate physical limitations, and the motivational role of community and family support. The piece also touches on the scientific backing for exercise in aging populations, noting benefits like reduced risk of chronic diseases, better cognitive function, and increased longevity.
