Aging is a natural process that every human being goes through and it starts from the very onset of birth. However, the actual “aging” is only really visible when the individual is considered to be quite advanced in age.

There are several different aspects to consider when deciding on a suitable exercise regimen for an aged individual and below are some of the areas that should be given due consideration and understanding before the exercise program is designed.
There is usually a significant loss in the metabolism rate and this effects the muscle mass which inadvertently eventually turns into inert depot fat. The slowed cellular metabolism rate would require a more controlled intake of food, if the body fat content is not to be increased further. With the inclusion and presence of a consistent exercise regimen as part of the daily lifestyle, the individual has a better chance of maintaining an ideal body mass and weight.
An exercise training program that would be most suited for the aged would have to take into account the now more fragile state of the body condition, thus content of the exercise regimen should not be too overwhelming and demanding physically and mentally.
