Now that it is summer, people spend more time outside for some fun in the sun. There are a variety of both outdoor and indoor activities for individuals to take part in. The following senior-friendly activities will allow seniors to enjoy the sunshine while staying happy and healthy.
Swimming
An aging person may have more difficulty maintaining a proper exercise routine, which is why this summer activity is a fantastic way for them to enjoy themselves while also staying healthy. Aquatic activities such as swimming are known for helping with muscle pain and heart health.
Walking Not only is walking a great form of exercise, but it also allows seniors to soak in the sunshine and get some Vitamin D. Taking different routes can let seniors see new and exciting places.
Crafting
Crafting is an activity that enables seniors to tap into their creative side. It allows them to make anything from clothing to home décor. Pick up some crafting supplies from a nearby store to create some phenomenal works of art.
Reading
Mental health is equally as important as physical health. Get comfortable with an enjoyable read, whether that be a book, magazine, or newspaper, to help strengthen the mind.
