And above everything exercises should always be done under the guidance of fitness experts.  Those who have bone related problems like osteoporosis should do more of weight training exercises to strengthen their bones.

Those above thirty should do more of weight training and body weight exercises. No matter how regular you are with your exercises to maintain the right weight and to stay fit a balanced diet needs to be followed.  Have early dinner and avoid eating starchy food for dinner. Warm up before exercise is very important otherwise you will end up with some injuries. Have proteins and vegetables and soups for dinner.

For elderly people stretches are ideal for weight reduction as too much of jumping, skipping, running and fast jogging are not good for the knee and too much of it can lead to permanent injuries. While doing stretches and other forms of floor exercises which are very common with power yoga be very careful with your back and make it a point to maintain the correct posture.
