I'm sure you've heard many times by now that exercising is good for you, not just physically but mentally too. Any sort of physical activity that you can add to your lifestyle can have numerous health benefits for you.
Exercising helps us aging adults by decreasing our fall risk, improving our brain function, and increasing our overall strength, balance, and flexibility. But exercising in itself can feel like a big obstacle sometimes, especially if you're doing it by yourself.
Group exercises can be extremely helpful if you struggle with keeping up with your exercise routine. It also has a lot of other benefits too.
First and foremost, it can increase your motivation to actually get up and exercise. Exercising alone can be hard, but when you exercise with a group, they can help hold you accountable for your actions and encourage you to stay physically active.
Leaving your house to exercise, especially if you're going to an exercise class, can really help you get out there and socialize.
If you find that you're a bit shy, it can even help you by building more confidence to talk to people, inside and outside of the class. Plus, staying social has a very positive impact on your mental health.
Stress can be detrimental to your overall health, but participating in group exercise can help you release some of that physical tension in your body that's been building up from stress. Group exercise can also help you bond with people who may be experiencing a similar situation as you.
Exercising in a group can help ensure that you're doing your exercises correctly and in a safe way so that you don't strain or injure your muscles. Group exercising gives you the opportunity to receive guidance on how to improve your exercising techniques and offer exercises that might be more valuable to you.
As we get older, we're more likely to have problems balancing ourselves. But maintaining our balance can be easier if we remain active. This can be done through simple stretches or exercises specifically focusing on flexibility and coordination.
Balance exercises can often feel safer when you're doing it with a group of people rather than on your own.
Exercising in general can help keep your heart healthy. It can help reduce blood pressure, lower blood cholesterol levels, and help control your weight.
With all those benefits, why not try group exercising, right? Group exercising doesn't mean you have to go out and spend money on joining an exercise class (though you could if you wanted to).
Group exercising just means you're staying physically active with a group of people that are also interested in doing the same thing. You can invite your friends or family to walk, hike, or go on bike rides with you. It doesn't matter how you do it as long as you're getting out there.
