With so many exercise options, it can be hard to figure out what type is right for you. As long as your movement of choice is hitting all four categories below, you’re doing great!

Your heart rate and breathing are elevated. Aerobic exercise is an important part of working out as it can help lower blood sugar, reduce inflammation and relax blood vessel walls.

You’re using your muscles. Regular strength training should be incorporated into your workouts—but that doesn’t have to mean lifting heavy weights. Squats are a great way to engage your muscles.

You make time for stretching. Keeping our muscles and tendons limber leads to increased flexibility as we age, making movement easier.

You’re working on your balance. Making balance a part of your exercise routine is ideal for long-term health as your risk of falls will be diminished. You can work balance exercises into your routine by standing on one leg and lifting the other 10 times. Repeat as needed.
