2 ) they can take part in activities like fishing and yoga.
3 ) i agree with the statement to large extent because age does not determine or restrict what we can do to enjoy life. ]]> 2021-08-30 02:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703411735 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703411963 1. no i would not as i prefer doing other exercises like jogging.

no, i would not exercise like the one shown in the video, because i prefer doing exercises that would be able to help me lose more calories like running,basketball and table tennis rather then those exercises that is slower and less effective in keeping fit. I normally do martial arts, muay thai to keep myself fit.

Question 2:
I think that older people may enjoy slow paced dancing, as it is not a strenuous activity and is a sport that can be enjoyed with  a group of people. Every week, my grandmother would go with her friends to go to do a slow paced dance, and they enjoyed it as it can not only keep them fit, but can also give them a chance to socialise with one another.

Question 3:
I agree that how we enjoy life is up to us and not our age as age does not affect how we enjoy our lives. It is the motivation and the willingness to go outside our comfort zone. To many others, elderly are seen as fragile beings that could not exercise. However, these exercises help them to step out of their comfort zone.]]> 2021-08-30 02:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703412672 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703412842 1. Yes i would like to do excercises like the one shown in the video. This is because the excercise shown in the video is very relax and calming. It is also not very strenuous excercise. ]]> 2021-08-30 02:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703412842 esther_jaichandar https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703412856 1. I will not as there are many other exercises that I would prefer to do such as running or cycling as compared to Tai Chi. At a young age i think i am healthy enough to do more intense exercises as i have the stamina to do so.
2.Some other physical activities that old people may enjoy consists of jogging and swimming.I believe jogging does not vary according to the age whereas it is a sport welcomed for everyone.Additionally,swimmmng too is well known among the older generation]]> 2021-08-30 02:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703412856 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703412973 1) No, I would not like to do exercises like the one shown in the video. Generally, I have a very low level of patience and will not have the mental capacity to complete one whole session of that slow-paced exercise. Furthermore, I prefer doing high-energy sports like running or something that requires me to move around a lot. I find other ways of improving my physical well-being through activities and exercises like floorball and volleyball.

2) I think older people, especially the elderly, can engaging in physical activities such as dancing, and attend Zumba classes. They can listen to their favourite music and learn dance moves. Also, as Zumba classes are carried out in groups, it can be used as social events. The elderly can dance with their friends and have fun together. Zumba classes can also be conducted almost anywhere, from parks to indoor studios. This makes it easier and more accessible to the elderly.

3) I completely agree with this statement. There is another saying that goes "age is just a number", and I find this to be true. If we stay physically and mentally healthy, we can continue to live well even as we add decades to our age. Furthermore, age can also be an advantage. With age comes experience, and we can use what we learn throughout our lives to know what we enjoy and do not. Therefore, I agree completely with this view.]]> 2021-08-30 02:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703412973 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703413740 (i) no, i would not do the exercises that are shown in the video because the movements are too slow for my liking.
(ii) Some other physical activities That the elderly might enjoy is hiking. jogging]]> 2021-08-30 02:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703413740 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703414131 qn1. no i would not. i feel that as teenagers we're more inclined to actively participate in more vigorous activities, rather than to participate in the slow pacing ones. for example, volleyball and track and field. these are one of the many strenuous activities that teenagers prefer to do. i feel that it is because teenagers are rather energetic as compared to the elders who may not have the capabilities to actively take part in strenuous exercises; even jogging might seem challenging for some. 

qn2. one other exercise that older people might enjoy would be aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, yoga and even cycling. these exercises are not as risky and do not pose danger to the elderly. it is also effective in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and allow for greater interaction with other people. 

qn3. yes i agree with the view. i do not think that age matters when it comes to enjoying life, in my opinion one should always live in the moment and do whatever we please. for example, actively participating in sports when we age, which is also a dime a dozen nowadays. though there should be limitations to the amount of time spent towards enjoying life, one should be able to have a healthy work-life balance. thus, we should live with no regrets as we might never know about the future ahead of us.]]> 2021-08-30 02:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703414131 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703414583 1. I would not do the exercise shown in the video. This is because i will do much more strenuous sports and i do not like slow paced exercises as i find them really boring and i will not be able to focus well doing this exercise.
2.Not so strenuous dance classes. They will be able to mimic the instructors while they are doing the dance, this way they are able to practice their motor skills and are able to get active but not overexert their muscles. They would enjoy this activity as they are in groups and are able to talk with their friends during the classes, this will make the class alot more fun as they are able to catch up with their friends while dancing. 
3. I agree with this statement to a certain extent, the elderly should not be bounded by their age boundaries and age is just an number. We should live life to our fullest before we all pass on and thus i feel that we should be able to do whatever we want before we pass away as it is our own life and it is ours to keep. ]]> 2021-08-30 02:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703414583 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703415002 Yes I would do the exercises, because it can help muscle relaxation when you body is very stiff and you are having muscle cramps. ]]> 2021-08-30 02:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703415002 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1703415792 1. No, the exercises are too slow-paced and might be unsuitable for teenagers my age. I would prefer to engage in higher intensity exercises like jogging or playing a sport. 

2. Brisk walking, yoga sessions, biking or using the facilities at the fitness corner. These activities are examples of aerobic exercise which will help the elderly maintain mobility and keep the minds of the elderly sharp. Older people may also enjoy resistance workouts to strengthen their muscles.

3. I agree. Age is purely a number and there were many instances when i saw senior citizens engaging in physical activities at the park. To share a personal experience, my grandmother cycles to the wet market every morning to buy fresh produce and breakfast for the family. She enjoys doing so and rarely complains about waking up early and chooses to cycle as part of her physical activity for the day. Many people are living life to the fullest and are engaging in enriching activities, old or young. Therefore, i fully agree that leading a fulfilling and enjoyable life is not dependant on age.

I think hiking as there would be nice scenery and it is not physically very draining hence will not make the elderly very tired.


Yes I agree to a great extend]]> 2021-08-31 05:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706331575 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706342618 1. Yes. The activity shown in the video is very easy to do and it is not very strenuous. This activity seems to be very relaxing and calming. It would be a good excercise to do if i would like to clear my mind off certain stuff.
2. Older people are unable to do physically strenuous activities due to their age. Old people would prefer to do activites like TaiChi which is the one shown in the video. Old people like stretching and breathing related activities. As these activites can help improve their health. For example, stretching can help them prevent join and muscle aches.
3. I fully agree with this view. Age is just a number and it does not defy what are the challenges we can overcome. If we have the correct mental settings, there is nothing that we cant overcome. Even though we are ageing everyday, it is up to us to deceide weather we want to enjoy life or not]]> 2021-08-31 05:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706342618 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706347534 1. Yes, I would like to partake in exercises like the one shown in the video. It would be a new experience for me as I've always been used to fast-pace exercises such as sports. Furthermore, the video seemed peaceful which tells me the exercise can be a way of relieving stress while being able to keep fit. 
2. Older people may take part in activities like dancing. Through this activity they can dance with other older people and destrees themselves. This can keep them active and healthy
3. I agree with this statement. We have control over the actions we take so we can choose to live a boring or a fun life. However, sickness that comes with age and being physically weaker can restrict us from doing the things we want to. ]]> 2021-08-31 05:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706347534 lee_hong_de_ryan1 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706352573 I would like to do the exercises in the video as I think they would be fun to try out.I have not tried it before, so a first-hand experience of the activity would be nice to try out.This would be interesting.

Old people would like to do activities such as mahjong. The game such as mahjong is very interactive and the elderly would be able to hangout with their friends.IT would also make their brain work.There are also games such as chess which requires people to use their brains and apply strategies when playing the game.Hence,old people would like to play games such as mahjong and chess.

I disagree to a large extent that the whether we enjoy life or not is up to us and should not depend on our age.This is because we will be able to live life to the fullest and we can try everything out.We would also have time to save for retirement, and hence we would be happier like this.Hence,I disagree with this statement when we enjoy life or not is up to us and should not depend on our age.]]> 2021-08-31 05:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706352573 tansk10 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706357236 1. I would do the exercises. Studies have shown that exercising twice a week is good for our bodies , it strengthens our body immune system and its good for the elderly because they should take regular walks instead of being cooped up at home all day long.
2. I think that some other activities that are suitable for the elderly would be going for morning runs at the park , they can also go to indoor gyms at community centres for workout sessions. they can also try yoga.
3. Yes , i agree with the statement to a large extent. Age is just a number and we should not let it stop us from pursuing our interests and hobbies. We should not let it deter us or make it doubt our strengths. We shoudl enjoy life as long as it lasts.]]> 2021-08-31 05:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706357236 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706359534 1) No because the exercise is too slow and takes too much time to lose calories. 
2) Hiking, trekking, brisking walking. Many old people enjoy this activity.
3) I agree to a great extent. this is because you can enjoy your life anytime and age is just a number. ]]> 2021-08-31 05:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706359534 https://padlet.com/esther_jaichandar/cka4tf3x3wicgixa/wish/1706364473 1) Yes, I would definitely try out these exercises as it is very relaxing at the same time I can exercise. Additionally, if my grandparents would also like to exercise too, we can do it together and spend quality time together too. It is another form of exercise that is less intensive as compared to exercises like running and swimming.

2) I think that exercise includes of gardening, calligraphy and brisk walking which are more calming and relaxing. Some elderly have some physical disabilities while others health are deteriorating thus less vigorous activities like these will not put the elderly at risk of possible injuries.

3)I agree with this view this view to a large extent. Many say that age is just a number. Many elderly in Singapore ranging from ages 55 and above are still actively anticipating in activities that are perceived as only suitable for the younger generation. For example my own grandfather at home who is 73 and still takes a jog in the morning and cycles occasionally to keep himself active and fit. From this example it shows that age is really just a number and the way that we carry ourselves every day is up to us whether we have a daily routine or decide to live the wrong way. However, there are some factors like health problems that develop when we age there can prevent us from enjoying what we like doing. Thus, as long as we are willing to, we can do whatever we want regardless of our age.

2.i personally think that seniors would find interest in indulging

This is because these type of activities is beneficial to me. Doing taichi brings me to a state of inner peace and mental stability, so i am able to concentrate more in my life later. That is why I exercise before my day so I am able to focus.
2. Other people might enjoy gathering with each other. I think this way because old people feel lonely and confined at their home so they would want to go outside and interact and socialise with their old folks to catchup about old times to kill time.
3. I agree to this statement to a small extent. This is because being old does not mean you can't do everything. As Royston Tay Jia Wei said "old gold". Old people are still able to do activities that might not be considered acceptable for them.
