Of course genetics, diet and lifestyle choices such as smoking, play a big part in how well we age and if we make it to older age.\u00a0 However, moving our bodies is essential to maintaining strength, flexibility, balance, to stave off frailty and slow cognitive decline.<\/p>\n<p>Another quote related to aging says &#8220;The time to begin most things is ten years ago.&#8221; Although it&#8217;s true that starting and maintaining exercise in our youth is preferable, there are some impressive health benefits to introducing exercise at older ages.\u00a0 Simply starting a walking regimen is associated with lower mortality in older adults<sup>1,2 <\/sup>\u00a0Exercise doesn&#8217;t have to be elaborate for there to be benefits.\u00a0 Even something as simple as introducing an elastic band exercise program with older adults showed positive results.<sup>3,4 <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Even though promoting the benefits of exercise is an important nursing role, many nurses, like the general public, don&#8217;t participate in exercise themselves.\u00a0 We need to find ways to encourage nurses to integrate exercise into their daily lives.\u00a0 There are numerous strategies.\u00a0 Some organizations provide discounts for gym memberships, but this could go further with such things as incentives in benefit packages for those who exercise.\u00a0No matter what the strategy, it&#8217;s important to start early in nurses&#8217; careers. One idea to instill the value of life long exercise in nursing is through establishing exercise as a core component of nursing curriculum. <sup>5,6<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>As nurses, we need to promote exercise with our patients so that they are able to achieve optimum health at every stage of their lives.\u00a0 What better way to do this than to demonstrate the value of exercise in our daily lives by doing it ourselves?<\/p>\n<p>1.Patel AV, Hildebrand JS, Leach CR, <em>et al.<\/em>Walking in Relation to Mortality in a Large Prospective Cohort of Older U.S. Adults. <em>Am J Prev Med<\/em>2018;54,10-19.<\/p>\n<p>2.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/?term=Marmeleira%20J%5BAuthor%5D&amp;cauthor=true&amp;cauthor_uid=29463569\">Marmeleira J<\/a>.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/29463569\">Evid Based Nurs.<\/a>\u00a0Engaging in even a small amount of walking is associated with lower mortality in older adults2018 Apr;21(2):51. doi: 10.1136\/eb-2018-102870.
