Intense exercise carries the risk of injuring your muscles and joints, especially if you\u2019re a senior. However, personal trainer Henry Pollock of GYMGUYZ in Austin, Texas, explains how you can work out more safely with low-impact alternatives.

Henry Pollock

Tell us about your fitness background:
\nI\u2019ve been in fitness and parks-and-recreation management for about thirteen years. I started by receiving a personal training certification then started working for a municipal recreation center, where I fell in love with the parks system. I worked my way up the chain and have had multiple certifications, including becoming an ISSA Certified Master Trainer, which is my current role at GYMGUYZ.

\n

I\u2019ve held over 2,500 sessions in my time, guiding a variety of different classes and clients. I absolutely love fitness, and my motto is always to make people healthier and happier than when we first met.

\n

How would you define low-impact exercise?
\nThese are exercises that aren\u2019t too hard on any of the muscles or joints. They\u2019re easily accessible for seniors and won\u2019t cause any further injury or extreme pain to their workload.

\n

High-impact activities include anything that involves jumping or heavy weight lifting. Obviously, we don\u2019t want to put seniors through intense sprinting, downhill running, or heavy squats, for example. But \u201chigh-impact\u201d is a relative term depending on the person, and it\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing\u2014just as low-impact doesn\u2019t necessarily mean \u201cgood workouts.\u201d Exercising safely is really just about not stressing the body past a certain point.

\n
\"\"
\n

Should even young and able-bodied people be concerned about impact?
\nIn a sense, yes. You can always overload your body, and high-impact exercise always carries more risk than low-impact fitness. The former has a place in any routine, though. Weight training is a great exercise for many seniors, for example. You\u2019ll need to build lean muscle mass as you get older, which can keep you safe against falls and other risks. These people should tailor their approach to high-impact exercises, not omit them.

\n

What are some examples of low-impact exercises?
\nThese include squatting-to-standing moves or sitting-to-standing ones, using the wall to do push-ups, doing calisthenics on a floor or bench, and other body-weight exercises like hip hinges or thrusts. These are exercises you can do without incorporating extra weights. Some other low-impact exercises that I strongly recommend, especially for seniors, are yoga and water or aerobic exercises. Getting in the water is extremely good for your body because it naturally diffuses impact, but you can still stress the right muscle groups and get a good cardio workout.

\n

Recumbent bikes, ellipticals, and upper-body bikes also offer great cardio exercise. These are generally low-impact in nature and carry a low risk of injury. Some other good types of training include balance exercises, such as tai chi and slow-marching with heel-toe movements.

\n
\"\"
\n

How important is form for impact?
\nForm is critical for any type of exercise, whether you\u2019re working with strength equipment or just walking. It\u2019s really what trainers look at to make sure that our clients are doing exercises correctly, even simple ones, since using the correct modality reduces their risk of injury. What\u2019s key is working gradually according to your needs and seeking a trainer\u2019s help to check your form and help you make progress.

\n

What are the top advantages of working out with a trainer?
\nIt\u2019s extremely important to seek advice because each person is different: their injuries, ailments, goals, etc. Ultimately, when you hire a trainer, you\u2019re going to get better results because they will help you stick to the \u201cbig three\u201d in fitness: accountability, a plan, and nutrition, catering them to your needs.

\n

When I work with clientele, I always start with an assessment to understand where they are and what their needs are. Everyone has different goals. Many of my clients live a more sedentary life, but others have experienced balance issues due to vertigo or even a serious injury and are learning how to walk again.

\n
\"\"
\n

How do you recommend someone begin a new regimen?
\nOne of the best ways to get started, especially if you\u2019re looking to prioritize low-impact exercise, is to seek out local group exercise classes. I think it\u2019s particularly great for seniors to work out in a group setting because of the socialization aspect. There are lots of different classes offered in elderly settings, like SilverSneakers, with low-impact routines geared toward that demographic. But instead of just jumping into any random class, make sure you\u2019re getting into one that targets your demographic and goals.

\n

However, one-on-one training offers the best customized experience, so you get what you need. For example, GYMGUYZ can bring fitness to your home since we carry equipment in our van and can provide personal training and accountability. That\u2019s a huge advantage for those with transportation challenges, including seniors, teenagers, and people recovering from an injury, as well as folks who live in towns without gyms. There\u2019s also a comfort factor because gyms can feel intimidating for some people, but the comfort of working with a trainer at home can lead to greater success.

When you picture a workout that builds strength, improves posture, and sharpens focus, Pilates might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But for more than a century, this low-impact, whole-body exercise has helped people of all ages and abilities move better and feel stronger from the inside out.

\n

Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, it was designed as a system of controlled movements to help dancers safely recover from their injuries. Today, it\u2019s a favorite form of strength training for fitness enthusiasts, physical therapists, dancers, and others who may be looking for a powerful way to stay active that emphasizes precision, alignment, and mindful breathing, ensuring that every small movement counts.

A workout for the whole body

\n

At first glance, Pilates might seem gentle, but it\u2019s anything but easy. Each exercise is designed to engage the core muscles\u2014abdominals, back, hips, and glutes\u2014that support your spine and help stabilize your body. Over time, consistent practice can improve your strength, flexibility, and balance, helping make daily activities such as sitting at your desk feel easier and more natural. One of the most appealing aspects of Pilates is how effectively it tones and strengthens without adding bulk. Instead of isolating muscles, these workouts focus on and train multiple muscle groups at the same time.

\n

And because it\u2019s kind to your joints and can improve their range of motion, Pilates can also be an ideal form of exercise for people with arthritis, chronic pain, or injuries who still want a challenging yet restorative workout. It also focuses on form and control rather than speed and intensity and can easily be modified for different needs and skill levels. A twenty-five-year-old runner might use it to enhance performance and prevent injuries, while a seventy-year-old might focus on gentle movements to support balance and joint health.

\n

\n

\n

The mental benefits

\n

With that being said, the perks of Pilates extend far beyond the physical. At its heart, it is a mind-body routine that emphasizes concentration, breath control, and body awareness. Each movement requires focus and intentionality, encouraging you to fully tune in to the exercises rather than zone out; such mindfulness can quiet the chatter of everyday life and promote a greater sense of calm. And while the controlled breathing can help you move more efficiently through the exercises, it\u2019s also thought to reduce stress and tension. Some research shows that continued practice can decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, enhance mood, and even improve sleep quality.

\n

The different types of Pilates

\n

There are several forms of this exercise to choose from, and understanding the differences can help you find what works best for your goals. Here\u2019s a closer look at five of the available options.

\n\n
\"\"
\n

 

\n

Each type shares the same foundation of mindful movement and precision, so it\u2019s easy to transition between them once you\u2019ve learned the basics. If you\u2019re new to Pilates, you can practice the fundamentals with a beginner-level class or an online video series led by a certified instructor. As you practice more, focus on mastering your form before increasing difficulty.

\n

The key to progress is consistency. Just two to three sessions a week can make a noticeable difference in your strength and flexibility within a few months. And remember: Pilates is about taking a journey to better wellness, not perfection.

\n

*Be sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
