How can I start exercising as a senior?

Starting to exercise as a senior is a great decision! It's important to choose activities that are safe and enjoyable. What types of exercises are you interested in?

I like walking and swimming. Are those good options?

Absolutely! Walking is low-impact and great for cardiovascular health, while swimming is excellent for building strength without stressing your joints. How often do you think you could do these activities?

I could probably walk a few times a week and swim once a week.

That sounds like a solid plan! Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week. Would you like tips on how to stay motivated?

Yes, that would be helpful!

Consider setting small, achievable goals and tracking your progress. Joining a group or finding a workout buddy can also keep you motivated!
