Cardiovascular
Endurance

Cardiovascular Endurance, Cardiorespiratory Training, and Aerobic Fitness are ways to improve how well one’s heart and lungs can supply the oxygen needed to perform medium to high-intensity workouts and many everyday tasks, (climbing stairs, carrying heavy items for some time and for some just walking to and from places). Cardiovascular Endurance is important because it allows your body to move your blood efficiently so your cells can utilize it as an energy source to fuel the cells in your muscle tissues to perform many daily functions.

Benefits of Cardiovascular
Endurance

  • Lower blood pressure- regular cardio exercise helps the heart pump blood more efficiently, leading to reduced blood pressure levels.
  • Improved blood flow- Cardio exercise enhances circulation by widening blood vessels, allowing better blood flow throughout the body.
  • Cholesterol management- Exercise can positively impact cholesterol levels by increasing “good” HDL cholesterol and potentially lowering “bad” LDL cholesterol.
  • Reduce the risk of heart disease- Improving cardiovascular health, with regular cardio exercise, significantly lowers the risk of developing coronary artery disease and other heart diseases.
  • Enhanced oxygen utilization- cardio training improves the body’s ability to utilize oxygen more effectively, which is beneficial for people with heart disease.
  • Heart failure management- people with heart failure can utilize cardio exercise to help alleviate symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath.
  • Improved exercise capacity- regular cardio training, over time, can increase the duration and intensity of physical activity during training and everyday tasks.
  • Stress reduction- exercise has been known to have a positive effect on mental health and reducing stress levels.

Senior Cardiovascular
endurance with chair exercises

Physical exercise ia as important to the senior population as it is to the younger population. It is important to maintain a certain level of fitness as you increase in age. As one gets older, daily moments and tasks may put strain on the body. Chair exercises are an easy way to exercises when mobility and balance are difficult to maintain.

Chair exercises done daily are a great way to reduce the risks of falling. The movements from chair exercises, increase blood flow and will keep your joints lubricated, active and increase muscle strength.

Benefits of chair
exercises

  • Reduce the risks of falls- Chair exercises are perfect for seniors that have limited mobility and have trouble maintaining their balance.
  • Improve one’s posture- As we age, the time, we sit increases and this can create a change of posture from maintaining the spine in a neutral S shape instead of a long C-curve, which will affect the ability to stand up and maintain straight posture.
  • Helps keep joints lubricated, active and strong- Chair exercises will increase blood flow to the muscles which in turn will strengthen the muscles and joints of the body.
  • Improves many body functions- gait speed (how fast one walks), grip strength, flexibility and cardio vascular function.
  • Improves blood circulation- Chair exercising will increase heart rate thus increasing blood flow thru out the body.
  • Other benefits include- lowering the risk of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, better bone health, lower risk of dementia and reduces3233 the risk of depression.
