Exercise and Physical Activity for Older Adults
Frequently Asked Questions
19. What are some endurance exercises to
try?
On
the following pages are some examples of endurance activities for
the average older adult. Older adults who have been inactive for a
long time will need to work up to these activities gradually,
starting with as little as 5 minutes of endurance activities at a
time, if necessary. Then try to build up to at least 30 minutes of
moderate-intensity endurance activity on most or all days of the
week. Doing less than 10 minutes at a time won't give you the
desired heart and lung benefits.
