EXERCISE FOR DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS!!
The Benefits of Exercise for Different Age Groups.
Coupled with a healthy diet, exercise offers nearly universal
benefits across all major age groups. Just as the recommended types, intensity
and regularity of exercise varies across ages groups, so do the benefits.
Because each person's body, health issues and limitations vary, always consult
a physician or certified personal trainer before you start reaping the rewards
of a new workout routine.
Childhood
Even at a young age, regular exercise helps
control body weight, reduces blood pressure, encourages “good” HDL cholesterol
and creates healthy bones, muscles and joints. On a psychological level,
exercise for kids promotes self-confidence, readiness to learn and healthy
sleep patterns. Health organizations such as the U.S. National Library of
Medicine and the American Heart Association recommend that children partake in
at least an hour of physical activity per day. Although exercise for children
need not be regimented in the same fashion as exercise for adults, these
organizations recommend moderate to vigorous physical activity, including
kid-friendly activities such as bike riding, jumping rope, dancing and
competitive sports.
Adulthood
Unlike children, adults benefit from a
structured combination of cardiovascular exercise and strength training, each
of which comes with its own share of perks. Cardiovascular exercises, such as
running, jogging, martial arts or step aerobics, help improve cardiorespiratory
function and oxygen consumption, increase blood flow and supply, burn calories,
lower the heart rate and encourage “good” cholesterol. Strength-training
exercises, such as lifting weights or
performing body-weight exercises, build muscle strength, improve flexibility,
encourage lean muscle mass and improve balance.
Middle Age
Exercise helps prevent the occurrence of the
arterial issues that appear during middle age. A 2012 Indiana University study
finds that 200 minutes of vigorous exercise such as swimming or running helps
prevent arterial stiffening, which may cause cardiovascular disease. Likewise,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention purports that regular exercise
lowers the risk of functional limitations in middle-aged people.
Moderate-intensity aerobic activities help improve balance, control weight,
strengthen muscles and prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.

management and even reduces the risk of premature death. The CDC notes that
just 30 to 60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise or strength training performed
three to five times The CDC reports that 150 minutes of moderate-intensity
aerobic activity per week improves weekly improves both mental health and
emotional stability. In addition to reducing the risk of disease, regular
exercise helps prevent common problems that come with age, such as falling and
hip fractures.
