Daily movement is essential for good health. Exercise can be as simple as a stretching routine or gentle walk. The importance of regular exercise is that by moving regularly you are challenging your muscles, increasing circulation, better managing stress, and enhancing immune function.
As we get older it is even more important to exercise to maintain strength, stamina, and improve balance. The following routines are low impact, well rounded, and easy ways to incorporate more movement into your day. Remember to speak to your physician about physical activity and how to modify routines to suit your needs.
