Strength training is typically missing from many elderly people\u2019s routines, said Varun Rattan, founder of Evolve Fitness. \u201cMuscle mass and bone density loss become more pronounced after 60. This makes resistance training even more important as we age. Lift weights or use resistance bands 2 to 4 days a week. Weight training<\/a><\/strong> will increase independence and improve cognition in older adults,\u201d said Rattan.<\/p>\n

Combine it with yoga to support flexibility and balance. \u201cMove with awareness<\/a><\/strong>, coordinating breath and motion to cultivate calm energy,\u201d said Rattan.<\/p>\n

According to the expert, low-impact cardio like swimming and elliptical are easy on the joints, strengthen the heart, and improve endurance. \u201cPerforming such activities 3\u20135 times a week at a steady, conversational pace would keep the heart healthy,\u201d said Rattan.<\/p>\n

Rattan said that beginning the day with 20 minutes of meditation is akin to tuning your inner instrument and setting the day\u2019s tone. \u201cStillness nourishes the mind and spirit, like food nourishes the body. It is where emotional healing begins. With age, the mind accumulates subtle impressions<\/a><\/strong>, attachments, and fears. Meditation clears this fog and helps you live more from awareness than reaction. It may also boost vitality and immunity,\u201d said Rattan.<\/p>\n

How to begin:<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Sit on a cushion or chair, spine upright but relaxed.
*Close your eyes and bring attention to your breath. Let it be soft, natural, and effortless.
*As thoughts come, observe them, like clouds passing across the sky, remarked Rattan, adding that one can also do chanting.
*Let this practice be non-striving. \u201cMeditation is not something to achieve<\/a><\/strong> but something to allow,\u201d said Rattan.<\/p>\n

With time, you\u2019ll notice that you start your day more peacefully and carry that peace into every part of your life. \u201cYou begin to move with intention, eat with awareness, and speak with kindness,\u201d said Rattan.<\/p>\n
