Retirement: Lightweight Training
Plan to spend 3 to 4 days a week doing 20-60 minutes of cardio, of your choice. Make sure you are putting forth good effort, but not working too hard. The conversation test is always a good measurement.
You should be able to hold a conversation to a degree but not so easily that it’s no different than having a conversation sitting down. Remaining active can increase your chance of being healthy, mobile, and independent for years to come.
A few cardio suggestions include:
- Treadmill
- Recumbent Bike
- Rowing Machine Elliptical
- Stationary Bike
- Swimming
- Water Aerobics
* Before engaging in these activities it is imperative to first be shown exactly how to operate machines and be cleared by your doctor to exercise
