"Senior-Friendly Workouts: Finding the Best Exercise Routine"

Seniors should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week, along with strength exercises twice a week and balancing-improving activities three times a week. Exercise can improve strength, balance, and reduce falls among older people. Low-impact strength exercises like dead bugs, glute bridges, seated overhead press, chair calf raises, bodyweight squats, and wall pushups can be done at home. Stress fitness, which involves short bursts of stress, can also improve health and regenerative lifespan of cells. HIIT, cold showers, and heat exposure are some ways to practice stress fitness.

"2 Weekly Exercises to Slow Aging and Reduce Stress, According to Longevity Expert"

Health psychologist and longevity researcher Elissa Epel recommends practicing stress fitness, a way of exercising the body with short bursts of stress to improve cell health and regenerative lifespan. Two stress fitness exercises include high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and taking a quick, cold shower. Studies have found that cold exposure can decrease inflammation, increase longevity, and improve metabolism. Heat exposure, such as sauna bathing, can also turn on positive stress and lower risks of cardiovascular issues and inflammation.
