Custom Exercises for the Elderly at their Home in Manhattan New York City 10019
Don't take getting older sitting down. As we age we tend to become more and more sedentary. Gravity is always working against us, trying to keep us down. Once we sit, gravity makes us not want to get up. Gravity also compresses our spines and urges us to have poor posture. You fight the mighty gravitational pull whenever you stand and you actually eliminate the pull when you lie down. You've probably noticed this and how your body feels less compressed and hunched when you get into bed.
We aren't actually recommending that you lie down instead of sitting when you're eating dinner or watching TV. We're actually encouraging you to stay active to combat gravity. There's no age cap when it comes to exercising. Even if you've never exercised in your life, it's never too late to get started either.
You can make your body stronger, increase your flexibility and give yourself more energy for your daily tasks. There's a long list of benefits to exercise for the elderly and if you're the caretaker of an elderly relative then you may want to consider hiring an elderly fitness trainer.

Exercise At Home For The Elderly
It can be difficult sometimes for the elderly to leave their homes. You may not have the mobility that you had in the past. Navigating the clustered New York City streets may not be something you want to do to get to a gym. Once at the gym, you may find long lines for equipment and other fitness accessories. Fitness classes tend to be crowded too.
The elderly need one-on-one, individual attention, which is extremely hard to get at the gym. For these reasons we offer truly convenient in-home elderly fitness training. You can get your exercise sessions done right in the comfort and privacy of your own home under the supervision of an experienced, passionate personal trainer.
We genuinely care about your health and well-being. We will do everything we can to help get you exercising and keep you exercising. You won't even need to buy any special workout equipment and your elderly fitness trainer will bring everything that you may need for each session. Your actual age is likely a lot higher than your mental age, so we also ensure that our elderly exercise routines are fun.

None of our elderly exercise routines are done sitting in a chair. We literally don't want you to take getting older sitting down. Our exercises are all done on a floor mat. Don't worry though, we'll teach you how to safely get down onto the floor and also how to get back up again. The good news is that the more you exercise the easier these tasks will be. At first you may need help, but eventually you'll be able to do it on your own.
Our at home personal training sessions include light cardio, stretching and also breathing exercises. Our breathing exercises have to do with "rib cage breathing" which really serves to lift the rib cage. We work a great deal on creating a space between the rib cage and pelvis. Opening up that space takes pressure off of your lower back and regularly working that area will develop your waist, improve your posture and decrease back pain you may have.
We also teach nostril breathing techniques. Breathing correctly is a great way to relax and breathing exercises can be done on your own as well. As you learn these techniques you'll get used to them and be able to create a rhythm.
Customized Elderly Fitness
Everyone's bodies are different and everyone has a different beginning fitness level as well as different fitness goals. People at different ages require different exercises and it's important not to compare our older bodies to our younger ones because our bodies do change over time. For the elderly we concentrate a lot strengthening the muscles are involved in balance and walking. Abdominal strength is important at any age and the pelvic floor muscles need to be strong as well to keep your body lifted.
All of our elderly fitness training, including home personal training, is completely customized to meet your needs. We start your fitness to accommodate then level you're at then we go from there. We pay attention to you and focus on your weak spots, which may not be the same for everyone.
Along with balance you may also want to improve your range of motion and we can help you with that as well. While helping you we also make sure that you stay safe and comfortable. Our personal trainers for the elderly take care to make sure you're only doing exercises that make you feel better.
Our clients enjoy their workouts and love seeing results. Straighter shoulders, a more lifted head, stronger core, more mobile joints and improved motion around the shoulders, hips and knees, which are common areas where the elderly have issues. Beginning an exercise routine or picking up exercising again as you get up there in years is one of the best investments you can make for your health.
