As we all grow older and gradually slow down, it’s likely a
sedentary lifestyle takes hold and our physical activity
takes a backseat. But when it comes to fitness, it’s never too
late to start, no matter your age. In fact, an active lifestyle is more
important than ever to your health in your senior years.
Naturally, our metabolism slows down with age, meaning
maintaining a healthy weight can become a challenge. By adding
exercise into your daily routine, your metabolism can increase,
while building important muscle mass and burning calories.
In turn, the impact of illness or chronic disease can reduce, and
you will see improvements in your mobility, flexibility and balance.
And the benefits are not just physical! You’ll find that your sleep
improves which is vital for your overall health, meaning you wake
feeling more energised, confident, and ready for the day.
You should aim
for 30 minutes
of exercise, five
times a week.
The NHS suggest aiming for at
least 150 minutes of moderate
activity a week. This may sound
daunting at first, but when broken
down equates to just 30 minutes
of exercise, five times a week.
Remember, it’s important to start
slowly, making sure you’ve warmed up properly before each workout.
If you haven’t trained for a while it may take a little longer to get
into the swing of things, and the last thing you want is to injure
yourself in your first session!

What equipment should I get?
Here are our top product picks, designed to accommodate all users,
no matter your fitness or mobility levels…
Bowflex Max Trainer M8 (shown above): Combining an elliptical
and a stepper into one space-saving machine, the Max Trainer is
designed to maximise your calorie-burn while taking the stress and
impact away from your joints and bones. On the Max Trainer, 14
minutes a day is all it takes to see results.
Recumbent Bikes: Benefitting from a lower seat position, a
recumbent bike is much easier to get onto and ride than its
upright counterparts. They offer unbeatable comfort thanks to the
chair-like seat that supports your back throughout your workout,
meaning you can ride for longer and burn more calories.
Free Weights: Preserve bone density, independence and vitality by
incorporating some resistance training into your routine. All you
need are some light dumbbells or a barbell set and some simple
movements to see the benefits.
