Resistance Band Exercises for Seniors
Resistance band exercises use large elastic bands that leverage oppositional force to train muscles, meaning that the more you pull, the more resistance you get. This makes it easy for seniors to adjust the intensity of their workout to whatever level they are comfortable with. As most resistance band exercises can be done while seated, they are a good option for seniors with limited mobility.
Improve Strength and Flexibility
Resistance band exercises can help improve strength and flexibility throughout the entire body, depending on the type of movements that you do. In addition, they can also help improve muscle control. Another reason that resistance band exercises are a great option for seniors is that these exercises are relatively low-impact and do not put a lot of strain on the joints. If you don’t already own a resistance band, you can easily find them on Amazon starting at around $15.
