Exercise and Physical Activity
for Older Adults
How to Get Started - Shoes and
Equipment
For many activities, you don't need any special clothing. Most
often, any comfortable, loose-fitting clothes will do. However,
your shoes are an important part of your physical activity routine.
Remember, you're going to be wearing them a lot. Here are a few
pointers to keep in mind:
-
Choose shoes that are made for the type of physical activity you
want to do (walking, running, dancing, bowling, tennis).
-
Look for shoes with flat, non-skid soles, good heel support, enough
room for your toes, and a cushioned arch that's not too high or too
thick.
-
If tying laces is difficult, look for shoes with Velcro®
fasteners.
