One of the most popular New Year\u2019s resolutions among seniors is to get fit<\/strong><\/em>. And it\u2019s a great goal to have. Studies show that seniors who maintain a healthy weight have a lower risk of developing serious illnesses like heart disease and diabetes. And seniors who are active have a much better chance of staying mobile and flexible as they get older. But in order to get fit seniors need to commit to making some real changes in their lifestyles. It\u2019s easy to start out the year making healthy choices, but it\u2019s hard to keep making those healthy choices all year long. If you have in-home care services<\/strong><\/em><\/a> they can support the effort.<\/p>\n

Use these tips from fitness and diet experts to stay motivated and get fit:<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

Make Small Changes<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

According to experts the biggest mistake that seniors make when they are trying to get fit is trying to make huge changes in their lifestyle. It\u2019s very difficult to make big changes to your lifestyle and stick with those changes. A much better way to change your lifestyle is to start small. For example, instead of setting a goal to go to the gym and workout five days a week make a commitment to walk around the block five days a week. Walking around the block isn\u2019t a lot of exercise and it\u2019s not a big commitment. But if you start to walk around the block every day and keep doing that you will build up to longer walks and that will improve your fitness.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Try To Do Too Much At Once<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re making lifestyle changes it\u2019s best to change just one or two things at a time. When people try to make too many changes they run into trouble and end up falling back into their old unhealthy patterns. Small consistent actions are the best way to create new healthy habits, and those new healthy habits are what will get seniors fit.<\/p>\n

Stay Accountable with In-Home Care Support<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Accountability is important for seniors that want to get fit. Writing down goals, keeping track of daily exercise, writing down meals, and keeping a log of exercise are all good ways to stay accountable. In-home care is also a good way to stay accountable. An in-home care provider who is there every day can make sure that seniors are following through on their commitments. And an in-home care provider can help with things like shopping for healthy food and cooking healthy meals.<\/p>\n

Think Long Term<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Mistakes happen, and so do bad days. But it\u2019s important to not let mistakes or bad days ruin the progress that\u2019s already been made. Healthy changes happen over time, and being consistent with healthy habits is the best way for seniors to get fit. In the long run it won\u2019t matter if one day goes badly and you don\u2019t exercise or if you eat something that isn\u2019t exactly healthy. As long as you are consistently working on making small measurable changes you will start to see results and see your health change.<\/p>\n
