\u200bShort workouts could the way to inspire your senior to get moving a little bit more. Always make sure that working out is something your senior is able to safely do. Her doctor can give you guidelines that your senior should follow for safety.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re Better than No Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a choice for your senior between no workout at all and a shorter one, the shorter one is always going to be the best option. Not exercising at all can lead to serious health issues for your senior. If she\u2019s gone her entire life without working out, she may feel intimidated by a \u201cworkout.\u201d That\u2019s why short, small workouts that may be no more than just a couple of different exercises could be a better option.<\/p>\n

They Don\u2019t Require Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the shortest workouts your senior can do don\u2019t require any special equipment or that she goes to a gym. Things like taking a walk or doing a few sit ups a day can help your senior to build muscles gradually. Eventually she may be ready for bigger exercise, but she may not feel pressured to do that.<\/p>\n

Intensity Can Make a Difference<\/strong><\/p>\n

The intensity of your elderly family member\u2019s workout may net her bigger results. Even just a slight increase in intensity, like walking a smidge faster, can raise your senior\u2019s heart rate and give her a bigger boost from even a small amount of exercise. This is why HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, is so popular.<\/p>\n

Morning Exercise Is More Likely to Get Done<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your elderly family member tends to put off exercise, she can quickly find that she gets to the end of the day without having exercised at all. Exercising in the morning means that she\u2019s exercising when she\u2019s likely to have the most energy or feel the most rested and that she\u2019s not going to accidentally put off moving until too late. If your senior exercises too late in the day, that can interfere with sleep, which is a bad thing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible for your senior to focus more on exercising when she feels as if other aspects of her life might get neglected. Bringing in home care providers is one way to help her to have a clean home, healthy meals, and companionship. That may help her to feel relaxed enough to be more willing to engage in even shorter workouts.<\/p>\n
