Absolutely not!  Increased activity is important at any age.

Increased activity:

  • helps you look and feel younger and stay active longer.
  • lowers your risk for a variety of conditions, including Alzheimer’s and dementia, heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, high blood pressure and obesity.
  • prevents loss of bone mass and improves balance, reducing your risk of falling.
  • Helps you maintain or lose weight.
  • Improves your sleep.  Poor sleep is not an automatic consequence of aging and quality sleep is important for your overall health.
  • Inactivity often leads to more hospitalizations, doctor visits and use of medicines for illness.

Absolutely not!  Getting more active can be done in any home and we’ll use what you have on hand.

The short answer is Maybe.  If you answer “YES” to one of the following questions or if you are over 69 years old you need to have your doctor complete the PARmed-X form and here’s the link to the form.

The 7 questions are:

  1. Has your doctor every said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?
  2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
  3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
  4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
  5. Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
  6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?
  7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?

 

If you answer “YES” to one or more of these questions, or if you are over 69 years old, then you should have your doctor complete the PARmed-X form so that I can design a safe, effective, personal activity program for you.
