Do you think that fitness exercises are important for older people?

Thanks for the invitation Sarah Ali

Yes its very important for older peoples to be physically fit and active because a sedentry life style can lead to metabolic disorders like Diabetes and many other diseases like arthritis, hypertension, depression dementia etc. 

So, exercise for elderly people should be something performed regularly, and making it fun and a routine can help in the long term.

They are important for all people of all ages. 

Thanks for your question! 

Physical activity and exercise can help you stay healthy, energetic, and independent as you get older.

Many adults aged 65 and over spend, on average, 10 hours or more each day sitting or lying down, making them the most sedentary age group. They're paying a high price for their inactivity, with higher rates of falls, obesity, heart disease, and early death compared with the general population. As you get older, it becomes even more important to remain active if you want to stay healthy and maintain your independence.If you don't stay active, all the things you've always enjoyed doing and taken for granted may start to become that little bit harder.

There's strong evidence that people who are active have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, depression, and dementia.If you want to stay pain-free, reduce your risk of mental illness, and be able to go out and stay independent well into old age, you're advised to keep moving.

Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. It can include anything from walking and gardening to recreational sport. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity every week.

Ideally, you should try to do something every day, preferably in bouts of 10 minutes of activity or more.One way of achieving 150 minutes of activity is to do 30 minutes on at least five days a week.

Examples of moderate-intensity aerobic activities include:

walking fast

• water aerobics
• riding a bike on level ground or with few hills
• playing doubles tennis
• pushing a lawn mower

Daily chores like shopping, cooking, or housework don't count towards your 150 minutes because the effort isn't hard enough to raise your heart rate, although they do help break up sedentary time.

In addition to your 150 minutes target, try to do some activities that work your muscles.

This can include:

• weight training
• carrying heavy loads
• heavy gardening

Nope. You need to be fit in every age.
