Senior fitness and the benefits of regular exercise are most important to the people who tend to exercise the least - people over 50, and even more so, people over 60. In fact, it's estimated that more than 90% of retirees in the United States get virtually no meaningful exercise, and that more than 50% are totally sedentary. As a senior, regularly scheduled exercise has never been more important. It aids in the protection against chronic disease, lowers the likelihood of injury and improves your mood. The older you get, the more there is to gain from a consistent workout schedule. Regular physical activity lowers the risk for colon cancer, Alzheimer's, dementia, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. Exercise, as a senior, can also help them look and feel younger. I agree.
