Exercise for Seniors By Kathleen Reynolds

“

Eat a well-balanced diet and stay hydrated. Protein is key. Seniors need to make protein the most important part of their nutrition. ~ John Stewart

”

“Fitness as we age becomes more important each year,” says John Stewart, owner of Custom Health Fitness, a sports medicine facility and online fitness coaching business in Napa. “Our longevity and quality of life depend on it more than we know. Good balance, proper joint mobility, and progressive strength training are key components to aging well and living with little to no pain while fully participating in the golden years with travel, grandkids, and getting the most out of retirement.” That’s crucial information when you realize that the number of people aged 60 years or over is expected to reach nearly 2.1 billion by the year 2050, according to the World Health Organization. This shift means there will be an increase in the number of people with chronic illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. John says, “I have seen a large upswing in the senioraged population looking to get stronger and reduce pain. I would say the age (of my clients) ranges from 30-95, but 75% come from the 65-and-older crowd.” The National Institute on Aging states that older adults can benefit from all three types of exercise:

aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and balance. Many activities, from exercise programs to household tasks, can count toward the 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and two days of muscle-strengthening activities recommended each week. Mary Anne Schaffer is the general manager of HealthQuest Fitness Center in Napa. She says seniors ask for a few specific exercises. “Exercise for balance is highly requested,” says Mary Anne. “We’ve been offering 30-minute balance classes that have drawn a lot of interest from our seniors, including those who don’t take classes on a regular basis. They recognize the importance. They may feel unsure walking or standing on uneven ground, stairs may be daunting, or even putting their shoes on feels more challenging than it used to be. “The longer you can keep moving, the better,” she says. “Exercise is going to change throughout your life. You may have been running marathons when you were younger. You may not feel you can do that anymore, but maybe you can walk or ride a stationary bike. If you’re dealing with a lower-body injury or limitation, there are machines that only work your upper body but will still give you the benefits of cardio exercise. There are accessible ways to exercise that will improve your bone and muscular

health, all while keeping your brain active too. Exercise can reduce anxiety and depression and improve your cognitive function.” John says seniors come to him mostly for back, shoulder, or hip pain. “The pain is usually from poor mobility over the years, never having exercised, and not working on the importance of proper range of motion, good form, and flexibility,” says John. “Getting fitness therapy and having a professional guide them through these important and fundamental aspects is key. Seniors who need shoulder, hip, and/or knee surgery will do much better if they get properly strengthened before a procedure and then work on proper rehabilitation and integration exercises afterward.” John believes seniors have certain misconceptions about exercise. “I think that the population of seniors did not grow up with fitness as a daily activity, so understanding muscle strength, bone density, and proper mobility are new concepts.” Mary Anne agrees. “We have seniors join who have never been members of a gym before, and they may be intimidated. Or they feel they can’t work out as vigorously as young people, so it may not be worth trying. In reality, there’s something for everyone to do exercise-wise. We offer a class called Forever Young. Participants have the option to do exercises seated or standing. Our instructors give modifications to meet everyone where they are, allowing them to keep moving. There’s always something you can do, even if you’re sitting, to get your blood flowing and your heart pumping.”

“Aqua aerobics is a popular class for seniors because there’s no impact. We have people who take walkers or canes to the fitness pool. They can get a good workout in the water without feeling they’re straining their joints. Yoga is also popular. We have quite a few seniors who take restorative yoga, gentle yoga, or even all-level classes because they know how to modify, and our instructors can help them find ways to get comfortable and not feel stress on the joints.” Mary Anne advises, “Take it slow if you’re just getting started. Be aware and listen to your body—which goes for all ages— especially if you’re at risk of falling. Listen to your own body. It’s okay if you start out with a little at a time. Feel free to ask questions if you’re unsure how to use a machine.” Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM) cautions that exercise should be approached carefully. “Talk with your healthcare provider if you have an existing health condition or you are just starting an exercise program,” they advise. “Your provider can help make sure the exercise program you choose is designed with your health and wellness in mind. Exercise doesn’t have to be vigorous to be helpful. Even a walk around the park can be positive for any age body and mind, and so can 30 minutes of working in the garden.” It’s never too late to start an exercise program, states JHM. “With today’s medical technology and scientific advances, more

men and women are living longer. And with longer lives, people are looking for a higher quality of life. Greater importance is placed on independent, healthy living. Exercise is a great way to keep older people active.” According to the Mayo Clinic, there’s no healthy aging “magic bullet”— no single exercise, food, or

THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING SUGGESTS TRYING THESE

Exercise Ideas WALKING, BICYCLING, OR DANCING Endurance activities increase your breathing, get your heart pumping, and boost chemicals in your body that may improve mood.

YOGA This mind and body practice typically combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation.

TAI CHI This “moving meditation” involves shifting the body slowly, gently, and precisely, while breathing deeply.

AN ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY Whether it’s gardening, playing tennis, kicking around a soccer ball with your grandchildren, or something else, choose an activity that you want to do, not have to do.

pill that can guarantee a long, healthy life. But there may be something that comes close: strong social connections. “Over many years of taking care of older patients, I’ve learned that the factors many people think are most important for aging well—such as having longevity in your family or lack of physical illnesses—do not guarantee a positive experience with getting older,” says Amit A. Shah, M.D., a geriatrician, internist, and palliative care specialist at Mayo Clinic. “It’s the quality, duration, and nature of your relationships that seem to matter most,” he says. Exercising can be one conduit to social connection. “It’s a great way to be around other people,” says Mary Anne. “I see an increase in socialization among seniors who exercise. Even if they don’t take classes, they are just in the routine of coming to the gym, seeing familiar faces, and catching up. Our space is special because we’ve got a great community of people, some who have come here for 35 years, so they’re used to seeing the same people at the same time and place every day; they worry about each other if they’re not there, they like having coffee together.”

Experts say getting good sleep and nutrition is important. “Get eight hours every night,” says John Stewart. “Let the body and mind fully rest and recover. Eat a well-balanced diet and stay hydrated. Poor nutrition and dehydration cause more problems than we realize, especially as we age. Protein is key. Seniors need to make protein the most important part of their nutrition.” “Learning proper nutrition strategies to regain their health has provided a brand-new outlook for my clients’ relationships with each other and allowed them to be proud of their bodies and physical health again.” Local professionals say seniors have made discoveries through proper exercise. “I have had clients who were on the verge of in-depth back surgery and gave my programs a chance, and now, four years later, with no surgery and 80 pounds lighter, they are living fully engaged lives and participating daily with their grandchildren,” John says. “Clients who feared stairs or traveling due to too much walking gave my programs a chance, and now they travel far and wide.

No destinations are off limits, and stair climbing or trails that lead to beautiful scenes are sought out and not avoided.” John says that all any client needs is an open mind and a positive mindset. Mary Anne is awed by the seniors she sees at the health club. “I’m impressed with our seniors here,” she says. “I admire those who have run into obstacles—they’ve had an illness, injury, a fall, or surgery where it’d be easier to say, ‘I’m done, I don’t want to go back to the gym anymore.’ Yet they still find a way to continue to exercise. It may look a little different than it was before, and that’s okay. I aim to carry that same mindset as I age. I’ve been at HealthQuest for nearly 20 years, and the positive impact of exercise is undeniable for any stage of life.” John concludes, “Just keep moving. Our bodies were designed to move.”

Unplug Make More Meaningful Connections in 2026 By Craig Smith

On average, we now spend four and a half to seven hours a day on our screens. We are increasingly isolated from each other, and social media gets a lot of blame for that. The US Surgeon General refers to this as a loneliness epidemic, with severe mental, emotional and physical consequences. Yikes! What are we to do? Fortunately, there is a way out: play games, work puzzles or join groups. All of these make us feel better, and the number of people engaged in any of these activities is up 30% in the last five years. And while the pandemic may have gotten the ball rolling, the upward trend to non-screen, socially engaging fun, is growing. And it isn’t just boomers—Gen Z and millennials are in on the board game action, in part because of new games like Cascadia, Codenames and Ticket to Ride, but classics like Chess, Monopoly, Scrabble, Risk, Clue and Go. The increasing popularity for games is based exactly what you might think it is—people are looking for a way to digitally detox in ways that foster face-to-face interaction. Higher quality of design helps, and crowd funding makes it possible for more games to be released. Local businesses now

offer game nights. But that’s just games. Clubs are also stronger than ever. As in book clubs. Betty Teller, who moved to Napa from DC over twenty years ago, helped start a Cookbook Book Club when she arrived. “I was part of a poker club in Washington, but I’m a Foodie, so this made sense,” she said. It’s a private group of fifteen or sixteen. Every other month, the host for that month selects a cookbook, and members sign up to make recipes. “There are two non-negotiable rules,” explained Teller. “One is that you can’t double the recipe, and the other is that you have to follow the recipe exactly.” Attendance is usually around ten per meeting, with the sixth meeting of the year being open to members’ partners. “The real benefit to this is the community we’ve formed. We see each other outside of meetings. Plus, because we use cookbooks from around the world, I now have the world’s most ridiculous pantry.” Teller encourages people to start their own groups around whatever interests them. She noticed that dinner parties seem to be a thing of the

past. “With this group, I’m assured of five a year.” Cass Walker and Marcia Hull were two of the founding members of a more traditional women’s book club that has been meeting monthly since 2000, including during COVID, when they met online. Of the twelve members, half are originals. “Over the years, some have dropped out because of personal issues, then come back,” said Walker. It’s not just about the books, either. “Sometimes people don’t even read the book, but they come for the discussion,” she said. “In a lot of ways, we’ve become a support group for each other.” “Sometimes I don’t even like the books we read,” said Hull, “but I love hearing what others think. It’s become a safe place. After all these years, we click. That

“

Mahjong ... It’s competitive and friendly, a real mind game, kind of like Gin Rummy. ~ Eve Kahn

”

“

...we use cookbooks from around the world, I now have the world’s most ridiculous pantry. ~ Betty Teller, Cookbook Book Club

doesn’t mean we agree with each other about a book, but it doesn’t matter.” Hull has also learned that “Not all Pulitzer Prize winners are good!” Both women agree that starting a book club is easier than you might think. “We ask somebody to join, ask them if they knew anybody, and before long we were meeting,” said Walker. Books not your thing? Games might be, and their popularity is soaring, especially with younger generations. Zachary Hortom, from the University of Pittsburgh, has been studying the trend. “Board games are as old as civilization itself,” he said in a BBS interview. “There’s a board game for every genre now,” be it nature, sci-fi, food or whatever. “Check online for meetups. Chances are that a local club has a game night.” And if you’re ready for the big leagues, check out Mahjong. Eve Kahn has been teaching Mahjong

”

at the Senior Center for five years now, when she took over for Rachal Friedman. “It’s competitive and friendly, a real mind game, kind of like Gin Rummy.” Kahn says that a national Mahjong governing body sends out new “rules” every year. “No matter how long you’ve been playing, everybody has to more or less start over every year with the new knowledge,” she says. And we’ll end this with—jigsaw puzzles. There’s a quote, “A jigsaw puzzle won’t solve your problems, but it’s a problem you can solve.” I couldn’t believe it when my wife, Denise Layten, recently spread a thousand jigsaw pieces across a table, I wondered if she’s lost her mind. I shook my head, sat down, picked up a piece, and began looking for its mate. Then I looked for the next one. The next thing I knew, an hour had gone by. And we were both perfectly content.

BACK FLOW & METER TESTING What is a backflow device and why do I need it? A backflow device, also called a backflow preventer, is a plumbing fixture that prevents water from flowing backwards into the main water supply, essentially acting like a one-way valve, and is necessary to protect your drinking water from potential contamination by stopping the reverse flow of potentially polluted water from your home plumbing into the public water system; you might need one if you have a system where non-potable water could mix with your drinking water, like a fire sprinkler system or a well, due to pressure changes in the water line.
