Children of Seniors Take Note: Supporting your parents’ fitness journey is incredibly rewarding. Regular exercise like strength conditioning helpd them manage chronic health issues, stay active and mobile, and even give them more energy and mental clarity.
To make the most of the first senior fitness trainer session, here’s everything you need to know.
Check with Your Doctor First 🩺
Before starting any new exercise plan, it’s smart to check in with your doctor.
✅ Ask if there are any movement restrictions based on your health.
✅ Consider getting a physician’s release—it’s not required, but it can be helpful.
✅ Make note of any medications that might affect your health in any way.
Make Space for Your Workout 🏡
When training at home, it’s best to set up a safe, clutter-free workout space.
🛋️ Clear an area in your living room, another common room, or spare bedroom.
🚫 Remove rugs, cords, or anything you could trip on.
💨 Make sure there’s good lighting and ventilation.
Grab a Sturdy Chair 🪑
Balance exercises are a big part of senior fitness, so having a strong, non-wheeled chair helps.
✔️ Use a kitchen chair or something stable for support.
✔️ Place it within arm’s reach for easy access.
✔️ Your senior trainer may incorporate it into exercises to boost stability.
Secure Pets and Limit Distractions 🐶🚫
Furry friends are adorable, but they can get underfoot.
🐕 Place pets in another room to prevent interruptions.
📺 Turn off the TV and other background noise.
👫 If possible, ask a friend or family member to sit in and take notes.
Invite a Friend for Sit and Take Notes 👯♂️
Having a friend involved makes a big difference.
📝 A friend or loved one can take notes to help you remember exercises.
💡 They can remind you of the trainer’s advice between sessions.
🎉 Plus, having a friend involved keeps you motivated!
Wear the Right Workout Gear 👟
Feeling comfortable and free is important when moving your body.
👚 Wear breathable clothes like a t-shirt, workout pants, or leggings.
👟 Choose supportive, non-slip sneakers to keep your footing steady.
