Exercises for the elderly

Published by

I am a 65- year old man. I am in good health but will appreciate it if you can kindly let me know the kind of exercises I can do to keep me in good physical and mental conditions.

If you don’t have any injury or heart problems, walking or even occasional jogging will be good for you. A thrice daily one- hour walking exercise can assist your heart and lungs to remain healthy. However, if you have been a sportsman in the past, occasional slow jogging can also be helpful. In all cases, always check your Blood Pressure before commencing any such exercise.
