The Surprising Extra Benefits of
Exercise for Seniors
Review your goals
If you start to feel it’s just not worth
it, think about why you decided to change in the first
place. Maybe you wanted to lose weight. Perhaps you’ve
lowered your blood pressure or are beginning to control
your diabetes. Reminding yourself of the goals you’ve
realized and the ones you’re still striving for will
help you push ahead.
Mobilize your support system
Call on friends, family members, or
neighbors who have been your cheerleaders. They can
encourage you to stick with it.
Be easy on yourself
Falling off track doesn’t mean throwing
in the towel. Remind yourself that change takes time.
