There are that many exercises around these days that everyone has they’re own unique plan and preference. Some of us, however, might be a little overwhelmed and confused by the seemingly limitless number of them, unsure about what’s most important and most effective. We’d prefer to have a couple of staple exercises that we know work, that we know give us a full body workout, and that we know we can stick to for as long as we want.

There such things as reliable and effective workout routines, one’s that aging and time will not effect. Huffington Post has put together an awesome list of 10 exercises that if you can stick to them, will keep you fit for life, no changing is necessary and you don’t need to worry about how to use confusing new equipment.

No doubt, we all want to hold on to these qualities of good health and youth, but since with age our bodies naturally experience a decrease in muscle and bone mass, flexibility, and even balance, the role of exercise becomes even more important.
Additionally, notes Patrick J. Sweeney II, a former Olympic-level athlete, trainer and adventure TV personality, it’s important not only to focus on exercises that mimic the movements of everyday life, but that also incorporate multiple disciplines.

“[By that] I mean making sure each workout contains at least two or three of the following elements — strength, balance endurance agility and coordination,” he said.

Workouts don’t usually get much easier when we age, but by picking the exercises that work with our body the right way, we can give ourselves the best shot to keep our fitness up for the many years to come. Check out the full post for all of the exercises.
