[Video] 10-Minute Low-Impact Workout for Seniors

Staying fit throughout your lifetime is, of course, important, but it gets even more important as you age. Falls caused by poor balance or lack of fitness are one of the leading causes of death and disability in the elderly. Staying in shape can prevent debilitating injury, so it is imperative that you stay physically active as you enter your senior years.

This short, low-impact workout is conducted by a physical therapist, and it's perfect for those who are looking for a gentle way to get some extra movement into your day.

Whether you are a senior or just at a very low fitness level and need a way to improve your physical activity levels in a safe way, this is a good one to try. It includes a light cardio segment, a balance exercise, and a strength training portion, plus stretching. The only equipment you need is a couple of light hand weights (or water bottles, canned goods, etc.), and something to hold onto like the back of a chair.

This video from the Stronger Seniors Chair Workout series focuses on the lower body, increasing strength in the legs, while using the arms to increase heart rate for a gentle no-impact cardio workout at the same time. This one is for those who are either chair-bound, or unable to do a full workout standing up due to injury or infirmity.

You won't need anything to do this workout other than a sturdy chair, and it takes less than 10 minutes and should be safe for all fitness levels. Still, consult with your physician if you are unsure if you are fit enough for any form of exercise.

While it may not be as exciting as some of our usual weekly workout videos, fitness is more imperative than ever for seniors, increasing both quality and length of life.

Review: Stronger Seniors Core Fitness Workout

Whether you're a senior, or just someone recovering from an injury and and you find some workout programs have too much impact on your joints or you have physical challenges that make traditional exercise programs difficult, the Stronger Seniors Core Fitness program is a great solution.

This is a DVD fitness program you can enjoy in the privacy of your own home. But what you’ll find is unique about it is that all of the exercises are performed while seated in a chair, so you won’t have to worry about any impact on your joints.

While there are several different Stronger Seniors workouts, this particular program is designed to help you improve the strength of your abdominals. In addition, you’ll find that you take pressure off of your lower back and you experience better posture and balance. You’ll also learn the best breathing techniques while you exercise.

It’s important as you age that you continue to exercise your body. Exercise has been shown to improve mobility and decrease the risk of developing chronic diseases. If you have a chronic disease, in some cases, exercise can help to alleviate symptoms and even reverse it.

But if you’re experiencing problems related to aging such as arthritis, heart disease, or osteoporosis you may have a hard time with exercises that require walking, jumping, or anything that puts pressure on your joints.

This workout program is free from impact but will help you to strengthen the muscles of your body that help you to stay balanced and pain free. With a stronger core you’ll find it easier to perform your daily tasks and possibly even enjoy exercises such as walking or riding a bike.

If pain or a lack of fitness has kept you from enjoying activities, this program can help you to get back the strength that you’ve lost. You’ll find that it improves the way you feel and helps you to be more independent.

This program uses principles from Pilates to create a core strengthening program perfect for seniors or people with disabilities. Core strength is critical, but many Pilates exercises call for a wide range of flexibility that many people just don’t have.

As you practice the exercises on this DVD you’ll see that they meet you where you are. You can do all the exercises from the comfort and stability of a chair. You won’t have to risk impact or injury as you work to get fit.

There’s also an emphasis on the connection between the mind and body that will help you to have even better success as you work toward fitness goals. With the Stronger Seniors Core Fitness Chair Exercise Program you’ll get stronger, develop better balance, and be able to manage stress better.

Here is an example of a Zumba "Gold" class - for seniors. Zumba Gold utilizes the same fun Latin music and some of the same moves as a regular Zumba class, but lower intensity and low impact. They also tend to go a little slower, and the classes are shorter and/or have more breaks.
