Exercise is important to good health. We all know that. Yet as we age, the list of what exercises are safe for our bodies starts to decrease.
We read an interesting article in Babyboomer.com called the Faulty Five. The article suggests that folks over 50 be very cautious with martial arts, running on hard surfaces, plyometrics, Crossfit, and yes, even yoga. It’s worth reading.
The website usually has some pretty darn good information on a variety of subjects for Boomers. Meanwhile, at Buzzed Boomer we will continue to promote escapes from reality (e.g. Painkiller cocktail, consumed responsibly of course). Okay, the article doesn’t say to stop doing the exercises we used to enjoy; just to be careful, consult your doctor, etc. While those healthy endorphins become more and more elusive we will continue to find a way.
Can you say water aerobics?
