There is no reason to stop exercising when you are over 60. In fact, regular exercise at this life stage can dramatically improve your quality of life, and slow the onset of age-related diseases.

Aerobic exercise helps prevent the major lifestyle disorders like heart disease and diabetes, and resistance exercise reduces the effects of muscle wasting and helps prevent osteoporosis, which is particularly important for older women.

Even if you've never exercised before, or you've got medical problems, you can still benefit from exercise. Talk to your doctor about an appropriate exercise routine that can gradually get you moving and towards better health.
