Spring Exercises to Boost Mobility

As spring brings warmer weather, it’s a perfect time for seniors to re-engage in outdoor exercises that improve flexibility and mobility. Stretching exercises, particularly those focused on hips and legs, are excellent for enhancing balance and preventing falls. Simple routines like morning stretches, gentle walking, or practicing tai chi in the backyard or park bring great benefits. Tai chi, in particular, is gentle on joints and improves balance and coordination. Gardening is another way to get active while enjoying spring’s blooms, as the squatting and bending engage leg muscles. Regular movement in spring not only keeps the body agile but also boosts mood through outdoor exposure and light activity.
