Health Tip: Seniors Shouldn't See Exercise as a Chore

By Diana Kohnle, HealthDay Reporter


(HealthDay News) -- Exercise is healthy at any age, particularly to seniors. Making exercise fun can help you stick with your program.


The Weight-loss Information Network makes these suggestions:



  • Figure out activities that you enjoy, such as walking with a buddy or group.

  • Plant a garden and work in it regularly.

  • Perform short bursts of exercise, such as three 10-minute walks.

  • Vary your exercise routine each day so you don't get bored.

  • If you don't like exercising outdoors, join a gym or fitness center.
