Physical activity is important at any age, but it is especially important when you get older. Some conditions that come with aging, can be reversed or delayed if you have the right exercise program and follow a good nutrition plan. Research shows that balanced physical daily activity can prolong life expectancy by slowing biological aging.

One of the conditions which women tend to suffer with when they get older is Osteroperosis. That means bones become thin and brittle. Load bearing and impact training strengthens and build bone density. Exercise can also reduce arthritis by increasing joint range of motion through strength stretching responses and challenging the body to move through full range of motion. Aging populations also have troubles with coordination and balance that need to be addressed with proper fitness programming. At Cheetahfit Training and Massage Center we have many tools to help these clients with issues of balance, propioception and core strength.

Another crucial component for elderly population is heart health. Very specific exercise choice based on science can help to keep the heart in shape as a muscle. This in turn can can prevent common cardiac problems and associated chronic weakness. At Cheetahfit Training and Massage Center, part of our fitness arsenal includes arm bikes (upper body ergometers) which are used heavily in Physical Therapy for Cardio Rehab through the upper extremities. These are great for everyone but especially aging populations because it is highly effective and relatively easy to perform.Any cardio routine will raise the heart rate and therefore improve overall fitness but some tools like ours are definitely much better than others.

Another important component to aging well is the maintenance of mental health. Exercise has been shown to significantly improve congnitive functioning and is a natural mood enhancer. This is because when you work out the right way, the body releases endorphins which make you feel good. Exercise is also energizing as it builds up the energy platforms in the body like mitochondria and reduces cortisol the stress hormone.All Cheetahfit personal trainers are certified to work with the elderly population.
