At 90, fitness coach Theresa Moloney’s aunt, Aunty Jay, has the fitness levels of someone half her age. While most people expect things to slow down as they age, Auntie J shows that staying active and healthy is possible at any age.

Theresa shared her 90-year-old aunt’s inspiring fitness regime on her Instagram. “Meet my 90-year-old Aunt Jay, who is a true fitness inspiration! At this age, she is still following a daily routine that keeps her active, strong and full of life. Her day looks like this: 30 squats (holding the fridge for support), 25 sit-ups, 30-second plank and 10,000 steps. She is proof that fitness has no age limit! Are you over 50 and ready to shape your life? Can we all agree that staying fit is possible at any age?” read his caption.

Although staying active and fit can be difficult, here we have listed light exercises that are ideal for older people and can help improve overall health.

1. Chair Squats: Chair squats are perfect for strengthening leg muscles and improving balance. Standing up and sitting slowly from a chair helps build lower body strength without putting pressure on the knees.

2. Wall Push-Ups: Wall push-ups are a low-impact way to improve upper body strength. By pressing against a wall instead of the floor, seniors can safely target their chest and arm muscles.

3. Sitting March: This exercise is great for increasing mobility and balance. Sitting on a chair, seniors can alternately lift each knee toward the chest, mimicking a marching motion. It helps improve circulation and strengthen leg muscles.

4. Hand raises with light weights: Using small weights or water bottles, raising the arms to shoulder height strengthens the muscles around the shoulders and upper back, improving posture and arm function.

5. Ankle Rotation: Ankle rotations while sitting help maintain flexibility and circulation in the lower legs, which may reduce the risk of falls and improve walking stability.
