Originally Published 2 years ago — by GQ

Health experts suggest that while the common goal of 10,000 steps a day can be beneficial, recent studies indicate that walking at least 7,000 steps daily is enough to significantly reduce the risk of mortality. This more attainable target can help with weight control and improve mental health without the need for a gym membership. To maintain an active lifestyle during colder months, experts recommend simple strategies such as taking calls while walking, short walks every hour, and choosing stairs over elevators. Consistency in being active is more important than strictly meeting step count goals.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by TODAY

Harry King, an 81-year-old personal trainer, advocates for seniors to stay active and incorporate strength training into their routines. Despite initial medical advice to limit exercise to swimming due to arthritis, King found that walking, hiking, and weight lifting greatly improved his physical fitness and daily life activities. He emphasizes the importance of working with a trainer to ensure proper technique and prevent injuries. King's personal regimen includes weight training five days a week, focusing on different muscle groups, and he encourages the elderly to find accessible ways to stay active, underscoring that there's no reason for the older population to slow down.
