Exercise is important at every stage of life. Starting a routine as a senior is not always easy or safe. An article by Fit & Well suggests starting slow and keeping things simple, such as walking on a treadmill.

This type of workout is ideal because the treadmill allows seniors to “control speed, incline and heart rate very precisely, which makes it easier to stay in the right training zone.” The rails also help provide stability, reducing the risk of injury or falls.

Head on over to our Council of Seniors 365 blog to learn what you need to do to start this simple treadmill walking workout routine. Plus, we have plenty of tips on how to remain active and stick to a workout routine during your retirement.
