Exercise is good for weight loss and may also keep the body free from aches and pains far into old age. In addition to Pilates, activities that can strengthen the body include yoga and tai chi, which involve stretching, endurance building, and balance. Some of these activities can even be done in bed.

For low-impact exercise, walking is a versatile activity that people can do anywhere in all seasons. Swimming is an option for people with pain in the legs or lower back since the joints won’t be painfully impacted. For those who are more active, treadmills, stationary bikes, golf, and tennis, when combined with strength training and stretching, can be powerful activities to improve stamina.
