Marielle: 我最近意识到,我们的身体会随着时间推移而发生变化,这是正常的。我们应该接受这种变化,并且永远不会太晚开始运动。 Becca Georgry: 我们的身体永远不会失去对运动信号的反应能力。即使是老年人,只要开始运动,身体也会做出相应的改变。开始运动时,应该循序渐进,避免受伤。 Alison Aubrey: 建议老年人每周进行150分钟的中等强度运动,例如快走、跑步、游泳或力量训练。最重要的是选择自己喜欢的运动方式,才能坚持下去。 Juana Summers: 最好的运动方式是自己能够坚持的运动方式。运动可以促进社交,加深社区联系,并增强老年人的独立性。开始运动时,不要害怕,勇敢尝试。 Ruth Weil: 即使膝盖不好,也要坚持运动,并从运动中获得乐趣。 Anita Snyder和Evelyn Bach: 和朋友一起运动可以提高坚持运动的动力。坚持运动的习惯和社区氛围很重要。 Mona Noyes: 力量训练帮助我提高了生活自理能力,例如上厕所、爬楼梯和提重物。 Emily Sokolinski: 力量训练可以帮助老年人保持生活质量,继续做自己喜欢的事情。 DeEtte Sauer: 即使害怕,也要开始尝试新的运动,并坚持下去,你会发现其中的乐趣。
