Today we have a light and easy Christmas movement routine to loosen up your body, give yourself a break from the hustle and bustle, and take your stress level down a notch.
Gentle exercise for seniors can be one of the most powerful tools for staying healthy and independent.
Even small, light movements create meaningful changes in the body and mind.
Working at a lower pace makes it easier to be aware of your body and zero in on your strengths and weaknesses so you don’t overwork any areas that are in need of R&R.
Slow movement requires more control of your muscles, which helps make them stronger and creates improved balance.
It also gives your body the time needed to unlock and become more flexible.
The calming music that generally accompanies lower impact movement is also a great way to relax and reduce stress and anxiety.
Any activity, even light activity, is linked to better memory, attention, and overall brain health.
And on a day when you’re not up for a higher endurance workout, it can encourage you to do something instead of nothing!
So during this busy and emotional time of year, join me with this holiday themed routine to get you moving and at the same time give some love to your back.
