Actively Aging: Safe Activities for Seniors

Staying physically active as you age is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. Regular activity can help improve mobility, sleep and mental health, while reducing the risk of falls and injuries.

Here are some beneficial activities:

Walking together: Simple and effective, walking around safely with a friend inside or out can boost cardiovascular health.

Stretching first: Gentle stretching exercises before you start moving can improve flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness throughout the day.

Taking breaks: Where you rest is just as important as when you rest. Plan on taking short breaks where you can get in and out of a seated position easily.

Keep moving: Enjoy music by singing, clapping or even shuffling your feet while seated to get your heart pumping.

While these activities are beneficial, a fully licensed senior care community offers a safe and supportive environment in which kūpuna can stay safe and active. Senior care communities may offer structured programs, professional supervision and social opportunities, ensuring that seniors can enjoy a level of physical activity that can help them maintain their independence.
