Exercise Programs for Senior Citizens
No matter your age, your health, or your fitness level - you can benefit from moving more. Whether you are generally healthy or are managing an illness, there are big and small ways to get more active and boost your fitness level. The truth is that you can't afford not to get moving. Senior exercise is the key to staying strong, energetic, and healthy as you get older. It can help you manage the symptoms of illness and pain, maintain your independence, and even reverse some of the symptoms of aging.
And not only is senior exercise good for your body - it's good for your mind, mood, and memory.
Avamere Rehab of Beaverton helps in two ways:
- We provide short-term, intense rehabilitation services to heal and restore your body to full function after injury.
- We offer individually designed senior fitness programs for longer term residents to make daily living more enjoyable and pain free.
As seniors age, more emphasis is placed on elderly fitness activities that help build balance and develop flexibility without putting too much strain on the body. Exercises might include cardiovascular activity such as senior fitness classes, stretching exercises for the elderly and balancing exercises, all designed to help seniors maintain body function and stability.
