Get your doctors approval before you lift weight, use a weight machine, jog or swim. Stretching the arms and legs before and after exercise helps prepare the muscles for activity and helps prevent injury. Regular stretching also increases your range of motion and flexibility. Cardiovascular or aerobic activities strengthen the heart and lungs and helps improve the bodies ability to use oxygen. Aerobic exercise has the most benefit for your heart. Over time, aerobic exercise can help decrease heart rate and blood pressure at rest and improve your breathing. We have a new look!!! Senior Health Connection is now LiVe Well-Senior Health.
