25-50% of people over the age of 85 experience frailty and are often housebound or dependent on assistance.

Exercise as you age

Exercise is vital for ageing well. The NHS recommends staying physically active every day, as regular exercise plays a pivotal role in improving heart health, muscle strength, mental well-being, joint health, energy levels, and balance. This helps prevent the decline that often accompanies ageing, allowing you to continue living independently and with a high quality of life.

Recommended exercise types as you age

Aerobic exercise

Activities like walking, cycling and swimming all keep your cardiovascular system strong, improve stamina and increase your energy levels. Aim for 30 minutes most days.

Strength training

Bodyweight exercises or light resistance training helps maintain muscle and bone strength, improving your mobility and independence. 2-3 sessions a week are optimal.

Balance training

As falls are a leading cause of disability in seniors, working on balance to prevent falls occurring and increase confidence in day to day life is important. Yoga, Tai Chi or simple balance exercises in the home all help. Flexibility Exercises: stretching the large muscle groups helps to maintain a joints mobility and range of motion.

Kind words from our clients

"I enquired for someone to work with my mother, a young 80 yr lady, as her confidence was low with her overall well being and after a second hip operation had also suffered a couple of falls. After my initial conversation I knew this was exactly what my mum was needing! Mum has really benefitted from her fitness sessions saying 'My trainer is so genuine, and understanding but focused and makes it enjoyable” - Mum now has her confidence back and due to strength work her walking is better. Cannot recommend Victoria and her growing team enough. Thank you both for your expertise and guidance. Mum has also benefitted from getting surgical insoles following a recommendation from the team. The level of care and passion for Longevity health and fitness is them in a nutshell and which my mum now has. "
