EASY FUNCTIONAL EXERCISE FOR SENIORS: The perfect 20 exercise to optimize your health for the senior in life looking to increase function, improve energy, decrease joint pain, and enhance cognition.

by Steven Graham

EASY FUNCTIONAL EXERCISE FOR SENIORS is an ideal, easy-to-follow exercise for seniors that combines gentle movements, breathing techniques, and relaxation. Using this book as support, participants engage in seated stretches, gentle twists, and arm movements to enhance flexibility, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.

Begin by sitting comfortably in a chair, feet flat on the floor. Inhale deeply, raising arms overhead, and exhale slowly while bringing arms back down. Rotate the torso gently from side to side, maintaining a steady breath. Stretch arms outward, then fold forward slightly, reaching towards the floor or knees. Perform seated leg lifts, extending one leg at a time, gradually increasing intensity as comfort allows.

This exercise routine aids in maintaining joint flexibility, improving posture, and reducing stress. It can be easily modified to suit individual needs and abilities, making it an accessible and enjoyable way for seniors to stay active and promote overall well-being. Always encourage participants to move within their comfort range and consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any exercise program.
