There are lots of ways seniors can stay fit, and many involve stretching exercises.

Seniors generally don’t have the same strength and energy levels as someone years younger, but that doesn’t mean they can’t keep in shape. Stretching exercises are ideal to maintain overall good health and will help prevent injury.

Here are a few stretching moves to help you: To increase your range of motion in the upper back and shoulders and improve your flexibility in the chest area, perform shoulder circles. Or you could do an overhead reach stretch, which involves reaching both arms over your head and increases range of motion in the shoulders and upper back.

Neck rotation works out kinks in your neck. Calf stretches help you better straighten your knees, and lower back stretching increases range of motion in your spine and trunk.

Other activities that can really help you maintain your mobility are golf and tennis. And Friendly Valley and Belcaro feature these kinds of activities. Rick Mahn and Manya Prybyla of SCV Senior Homes can show you some great homes in these gate-guarded communities.

Just call Rick Mahn or Manya Prybyla at 661-755-1941 or 661-609-3046.
