케어 어드바이저 2026.04.10

Exercise is the best investment in your loved one's health. However, starting incorrectly can lead to accidents.

Intensity: Exercise at a level where you can still talk. If you are too breathless to speak, the intensity is too high.

Frequency: 3 to 5 times per week, 20 to 30 minutes per session.

Composition: Aerobic exercise (walking) + strength training (sitting down and standing up) + balance training (standing on one foot).

Location: Flat parks or indoor community centers. Move indoors on rainy days.
