can also train & sharpen your
mind with mind games & activities
that challenge your brain function

or with a few hills with
gradual incline
• Fast walking

both strength & flexibility

from a certified instructor to

mowing using a lawn mower or

Make sure that you warm up
and stretch properly before
doing any type of exercises,
and keep your exercises on a
moderate intensity

If you try to push for vigorous
intensity at your age, your
health and safety will be
compromised greatly
Reminder
Remember: No matter how
light some activity & exercise
can be, as long as it keeps
you active, it’s better for your
health than none at all
