How does a 50-year-old woman exercise?
After 50 years old, proper exercise will help to keep healthy, enhance immunity and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

As for the frequency of exercise, it is ok to exercise in a way suitable for your physical condition, but it is suggested to disperse the exercise and exercise plan and carry out different forms of physical exercise two or three times a week, so as to maintain a healthy body more effectively:

1. Do moderate and low intensity aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. It is recommended to exercise for at least 20 minutes three times a week.

2. Strength training in the gym can maintain strong bones and muscles, increase muscle mass and prevent osteoporosis and physical aging. It is recommended to do it 1-2 times a week, each time for half an hour, not too intense.

3. Yoga or Pilates can enhance the flexibility, endurance and balance of the body and improve the posture of the body. You can practice 2-3 times a week for about 40-60 minutes each time.

In short, the amount of exercise should be properly and evenly distributed, taking into account one's physical condition. If you don't exercise for a long time, you can start with light exercise such as walking slowly, and then gradually increase the intensity of exercise after getting used to it. In addition, make sure you are in good health before exercise. If you feel unwell, stop exercising in time and consult a doctor.
