What is considered elderly is constantly changing, as more and more people take steps to preserve and even improve their health and activity level over the years. Exercise is one such vital tool that can provide tremendous benefits to both body and soul at any age. Here are some benefits of exercise:

• Stay Independent: As you age, many things that came naturally to you are difficult for you. Commonly neck flexibility and strength of the grip are two areas that are weak. Without an effective grip, handles, bars, doors and lifting objects become difficult for you.
• To prevent falls and slips: Loss of flexibility, weak bones and frail muscles all leads to frequent falls and slips in old age. Balance exercise helps in preventing these falls and slips thus saving many lives.
• Fight diseases: Exercise helps improve breathing, circulation, elevates mood and strengthens moods, no wonder according to American Heart Institute “increased levels of physical activity are associated with reduced incidence of coronary heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, depression and anxiety.”
• Feel Good: Exercising can help to elevate your mood, release the feel good hormone and make you make the most of now. A research by Dr. Robert Thayer shows that even a 10 minute walk is effective in elevating mood even better than a cigarette or candy.
