Some family members may toss a compliment your way and say you look great at age 60. Well, for one who has been there, it’s not only the shape you’re in at 60, it’s staying that way at 65, 70, even 80. Staying in shape is, well, it’s a commitment and a challenge, and it’s not easy. Your diet can play a large part in “looking good,” but many seniors believe that exercise is the key.

The main focus of your regimen can change as you grow older. You may have been a runner, jogger or walker, and now choose yoga or Pilates as a way to keep your joints and body healthy, flexible, and strong. On the other hand, some pundits say you should eschew the pounding your body takes in jogging or running, and do more walking even if it’s on a treadmill. Staying in shape at 60 will be a measuring stick to your good health as you age, but you need to be cognizant of trouble spots along the way that can involve your knees, hips, back, and feet. The key is don’t give up; adapt and change all the way to age 80, and beyond.

Easy Exercises You Can Do at the Office

For those who work behind a desk all day, fitting in exercise to your schedule can be difficult. There are several activities, though, that can be done throughout the work day and will help to keep you healthy and toned.

An easy way to work some exercise into your work day is to schedule time for yourself to take a break from your desk and go for a brisk walk. This can be done as a break from work entirely, to clear your mind and re-energize yourself, or it could be done with a colleague in place of having a seated meeting to discuss a work related topic. Walking will increase your heart rate and encourage flexibility, both of which will help to increase your metabolism over time, and in the short term, aide focus and thus productivity.

Another favorite suggestion for exercising in the office is to practice assisted calisthenics. Even in work clothes, you can do quick sets of push ups against a wall, or calf raises while standing behind your desk chair. These small moves will fire muscles that would otherwise be at rest all throughout your workday. Regular engagement in calisthenic exercises like these will help to keep you toned and your metabolism in check.
