ACTIVE SENIOR WORKOUT STRUCTURE

Two types of exercises are important for building and maintaining bone mass and density: weight-bearing and resistance exercises. Weight-bearing exercises are those in which your bones and muscles work against gravity. This is any exercise in which your feet and legs are bearing your weight. The second type of exercise is resistance exercise or activities that use muscular strength to improve muscle mass and strengthen bones.

Unfortunately, aging negatively affects every parameter of muscle-skeletal functionality. Moreover, a decrease in strength, endurance, muscular and bone mass is almost always directly related to the number of falls an individual experiences. For individuals in the older population, an everyday occurrence such as a fall can often be fatal. Each year approximately 30% of people older than 65 fall and injure themselves. Among them, 20% to 30% will never be able to walk again. Both strength and aerobic capacities improve after a few weeks of regular and organized exercising.
