Participate In Pilates Hoboken NJ Classes For The Aging Senior

By April Briggs


People know how important exercising and moving is to keep a healthy body. One of the best ways to stay active is with Pilates Hoboken NJ classes. Individuals can exercise, socialize and get their body in shape by implementing a few healthy exercises a week in their lifestyle.

Over exercising can sometimes occur for seniors who enjoy getting out and moving. It is important to know the signs of dehydration such as: dizziness, confusion, weakness, increased heart rate, fever and thirst. You will also notice the person's urine is darker in color and has a stronger than usual smell. It is important that the person is getting at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day. If the senior is having trouble taking in all the water or other fluid at once, introduce small sipping until all the fluid is gone.

Keep the senior's fridge filled with their favorite cold beverages while they are exercising. Water, lemonade, tea and other fruit juices are among some of the best to prevent dehydration. It is important to have the senior avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol during the warmer months. Seniors who spend time outside should always keep water on hand. Another refreshing treat would be to keep popsicles or gelatin desserts available.

Your head is an excellent place to start. You will need a straight on the mat for these exercises. Sit up straight on the mat and follow your instructors directions. Most instructors will have you move your head slowly from side to side. They will do exercises as head to chest, or chin to chest. Many instructors will have you repeat this for as many times as you can.

When it is time to work out your arms, hold your arms out to the side. Rotate your arms, make circular movements. Move your arms forward, then move and rotate to your back. You can count in sets or just count each time you are moving your arms toward the back. It is a great way to build up muscle tone in your arms. Some individuals like air boxing. Individuals can make an exercise out of boxing into the air. Make a fist with your hand, and then punch the air.

It is important for the whole body to get exercise. So, you cannot forget your legs. Extend your legs out in front of you, hold them there, and then lower them. Repeat this for as many times as you desire.

After you are done with both legs, try lifting one leg at a time. All of these exercises can be performed in sets. If you are having trouble getting started with your exercise program consider getting a buddy. Exercising with someone can make exercising more enjoyable. As with starting any exercise program it is important to discuss your plans with your health provider. Your health care provider can tell you whether chair exercising is the right plan for you

The care of your senior loved one is always at your utmost concern. You want the best care for them when you are not around. Now, that the summer months are approaching another added concern is keeping your aging loved one healthy, fit and well hydrated while exercising.
