Exercising isn’t only for the youth. Exercise is something that we should do during all stages of our life. But if you are late to the party, then you have even more to look forward to because the reward is much more noticeable and needed.

Golfing

Golfing reduces stress by getting you outdoors in nature's sunshine and open horizons. It's a great mental exercise that keeps you distracted while you strategize and interact with your surroundings. Polishing your golf moves helps with flexibility, posture, strength, and balance.

According to Celebrity Greens, using an open stance and letting your weight drop on the side closest to the hole helps to smoothly roll the ball, which lets you have better control of your distance.

Bicycle Riding

This sport keeps you more intimately connected to the world outdoors than a car commute ever could. The first step is picking a route that fits your preferences. You may want to go out of your way and find a path that has few traffic interruptions when you are just getting started. A busier path that is closest to interesting sights and local shops may be more preferable for seasoned riders. You can go solo on a traditional bike, or you can switch things up by using less-traditional models. According to SilverSneakers, stationary exercise bikes are great for seniors because they have three wheels and let you recline in a laid-back position as you pedal. Tandem bikes have multiple seats for riding with companions.

Water Aerobics

Water aerobics is wonderful when there are added complications from weight or weakened muscles. It's great for getting the heart pumping when it's hot outside and you need a cooler alternative to keep you in the mood. Your body can exercise more effectively without the stress of gravity or heat, so you can last much longer and feel refreshed when you're finished working out. You can do it at home in an in-ground or above-ground pool or at a gym.

Golfing and biking can benefit you by giving you the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. However, community centers have the added benefit of providing instructor-guided workouts, such as low-impact water yoga to help with stretching targeted muscles that need it the most. These are just a few of the exercises that are great for maintaining your health while being active and staying in shape.
