[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.

Video - Couch Potato Quickie Workout
This short video demonstrates a number of exercises you can do while watching your favorite TV show. Incorporating both strength and cardio, this total body workout can be done during commercial breaks, or while watching the show. And you don't HAVE to stay on the couch the whole time - you can certainly do regular jumping jacks for the length of one commercial (or a whole commercial break if you're gung-ho), but the versions shown here are all low-impact, which is easier if you have joint problems or are out of shape.
Keep in mind that if you have a softer couch, you may need to move to the floor for some of the exercises. Doing some of these without the proper support (for example the leg lifts) can be difficult or even cause injury, so be aware of this, and if you don't have as firm a couch as shown in the video, just scoot onto the floor to do these.
Have fun, and get fit!
