The body slows down in comparison to earlier times but still, you can continue with the cardio exercises such as jogging, walking, cycling and other exercises but do remember to take a break and exercise maximum 6 days a week. Those who want to stay fit but are no longer interested in continuing with gym can opt for aerobics or play games like badminton, tennis, etc.

In this age group, a person can continue with the cardio exercises but it will be better if the intensity is reduced and breaks in a week are increased from one to two. Balancing exercises should also be included in the fitness regime as body finds it difficult to maintain correct postures. Yoga can be pretty helpful as it will bring results without exerting pressure on the body.
