Our bodies are designed to move! The keys to longevity and aging well are to fuel your body with high quality food, receive adequate rest daily, and move your body with some form of fitness every single day. Keep it simple and uncomplicated!
Choose a form of exercise that you enjoy, that challenges you, and one that fits your current level of fitness. Limited mobility? Try seated exercise such as chair aerobics. No gym? Use YouTube to stream a wide variety of exercise videos suitable for every age and ability level. New to exercise? Begin with gentle stretching, walking, or check out water aerobics!
Prior to the pandemic I worked out daily at the gym, beginning with a warm up on the treadmill or elliptical and strength trained 3 times per week. Amid the shut downs I discovered Fabulous50s via YouTube and am hooked! Luckily, my living room has ample space for cardio routines, a mini elliptical, and a set of free weights for strength training days. Below is one of my favorite Fabulous50s routines combining both cardio and balance.
Be Well and Keep Moving! ~Tiffany
