Senior Citizen Exercises

Senior citizens typically don’t adopt a rigorous workout routine, nor do they need to. With a few simple exercises, you can get a complete workout and ensure health for years to come.

Many people think that weightlifting can be detrimental for the elderly, but these senior citizen exercises are one of the most effective means of exercise and can improve bone density. Use some light dumbbells are even some bags of frozen vegetables—ala Sit and Be Fit—to perform multi-joint lifts, such as presses and squats.
