That being said, you can say that besides\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthandfitness.com.au\/fitness\/workouts\/724-how-many-reps-for-fat-loss\/\">working out to lose weight<\/a>, seniors have a lot more at stake in getting fit than one might think. Every grandparent wants to spend more time with their grandkids, and most seniors definitely want to make the most of their post-retirement years.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>With those goals in mind, helping your 50-and-up loved ones achieve fitness goals is probably some of the best support you can give them, and here\u2019s how to do it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Gift Them The Tools To Help Them On Their Fitness Journey<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nifs.org\/blog\/in-training-consistency-is-the-key-to-your-fitness-goals\" rel=\"nofollow\">The key to fitness is consistency<\/a>, and a great way to be consistent is to get good exercise gear so you can maintain some level of exertion even if you can\u2019t hit the gym. However, seniors may not have the time or familiarity with modern fitness gear to go to a store and choose the right exercise equipment for themselves. As such, some of the best gifts\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/giftlist.cx\/gifts-for-grandma\/\">for your grandmother<\/a>\u00a0when they\u2019re on a fitness regimen are the tools that they need to achieve their fitness goals.\u00a0As an example, seniors who like to work out in the sun will benefit from reflective gear, so they can enjoy the atmosphere of the outdoors without worrying about sunburn.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthandfitness.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/walking-on-the-beach.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthandfitness.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/walking-on-the-beach-1024x639.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthandfitness.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/walking-on-the-beach-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.womenshealthandfitness.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/walking-on-the-beach-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.womenshealthandfitness.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/walking-on-the-beach-768x479.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Show Your Solidarity By Working Out With Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Humans are social animals that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/the-crossover-cast\/7-studies-that-prove-people-work-better-in-teams-70a87137fbc9\" rel=\"nofollow\">naturally perform better as part of a group<\/a>. This goes no differently for your 50-and-up loved ones when they decide to take up a fitness regimen. Accompanying them on their new fitness ventures gives them invaluable moral support, but it goes a little deeper than that. It also reminds them of why they\u2019re working to get fit: so they can spend more time with the family they love, however physically taxing the activity.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Even something as simple as going on their morning jog with them can work wonders in helping their fitness flourish. If you\u2019re willing to go the extra mile, you can plan games and activities so they can play with the rest of the family, especially their grand kids. If you somehow can\u2019t find the time to accompany them, point them to some fitness classes where they can work together with other seniors to achieve their later-life fitness goals.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Celebrate Their Fitness Achievements, No Matter How Small<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It\u2019s one thing to egg your senior loved ones on by saying how great they\u2019re doing on their workout regimes and you\u2019re so proud of them. It\u2019s a whole other thing to continuously celebrate them as they hit their fitness marks, making every step of the way feel special. You can do this even in simple ways such as going out to eat at their favorite restaurant, or in big ways such as gathering the whole clan for a sports meet so grandma can show off her freshly polished skills.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Whatever your senior loved one\u2019s fitness state, the most important thing is to let all of this assistance originate from a position of love.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For our bodies to stand up to the rigors of time, it needs exercise; and\u00a0this goes most especially for seniors, who tend to lead slower, less physically active lifestyles.
