(see updates below for changes)
1. Arthritis management: Regular activity helps lubricate the joints and can help
reduce overall pain and stiffness that is often present among individuals with
arthritis. Plus, the more active you are the better chance you will be able to
control your weight, which leads to less pressure on your joints.
2. Depression reduction: Exercise can have a beneficial effect on personal
mood. Studies suggest that group exercise classes can help older adults
reduce symptoms of depression by 30 percent or more in exercising older
adults.
3. Increased quality of life: Maintaining functional independence is something
many older adults want. Regular exercise inclusive of strength and balance
training can help accomplish this. Aim to be physically active for 30 minutes
every day and to strength train at least two non-consecutive days per week.
The UFC offers many classes and programs that can help you achieve all of your
fitness goals. Check out our website for the class schedule and mind/body specialty
programs we offer.
3 Good Reasons Why
Seniors Should Exercise
SilverSneakers® Class Updates
Men after the age of 40 are forced to deal with a number of problems they may not
have had to deal with before. There’s a crisis of chronic diseases affecting men’s
health in every community, those diseases include diabetes, obesity, hypertension,
heart disease, and high cholesterol. These diseases are causing men to die
prematurely.
But there is hope. With a combination of proper diet and regular exercise these
diseases can stay under control or even become non-existent. The ACSM
(American College of Sports Medicine) recommends that adults get at least 150
minutes of moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise per week- this equals out to 30
minutes of cardiorespiratory exercise per day, 5 days per week. Research has
shown that the 30 minutes of exercise does not need to happen all at once; people
get the same benefits if this time is broken up, as long as it is in bouts of at least 10
minutes.
Resistance training is equally as important as cardiovascular exercise. Adults should
train all major muscle groups two days per week with at least 48 hours between
training sessions. To increase strength and power it is recommended to perform 8-12
repetitions for each exercise, and to improve muscular endurance it is recommended
to perform 15-20 repetitions of each exercise. It is important to follow these
guidelines to help prevent or control these chronic diseases.
Starting an exercise program, or changing your current exercise program can be very
difficult. If you have any questions about cardiovascular or strength training, please
ask any of the UFC exercise physiologists.
