Exercise and fitness methods for the elderly

There are many ways for the elderly to exercise and keep fit, and exercising more often is good for improving your body's resistance and preventing bone aging. Therefore, we recommend that the elderly should use more ways of exercise and fitness in their lives. If we want to exercise and keep fit in our daily life, we can do head and chest expansion exercises, or we can practice Tai Chi, jogging and other exercises.

1. Get up and move around

After getting up in the morning, wash up, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with a slight smile, relax your upper body, squat slightly with your lower body, lightly grip the ground with your toes, and look into the distance.

2. Head Activities

Use the head as the tip of the pen and shake the head to write the word "longevity". Then make your head draw a circle around the two words, first in a clockwise direction and then in the opposite direction. Do the above movements slowly and take about 2 minutes.

3. Chest expansion activities

While standing, bend your legs slightly, then raise your arms horizontally in front of your chest, straighten your legs, swing your arms to the sides and raise them horizontally, raise your head, stop, then bend your legs again, bend your arms horizontally and then swing them once.

4. Cross Palms

Keep standing still, let your hands hang down, cross your palms, and face your abdomen. Then open your arms outwards in a way that feels natural and comfortable to you. Don't rush. After opening your arms, immediately retract them so that your palms are crossed again. This should take about 1 minute.

5. Draw a circle with both palms

The palms of your hands should be about 10 cm apart from each other. Keep this distance, with your palms at the same height as your waistband. Keep the distance between your palms unchanged, and then use your upper arms to drive your arms to make circular motions. First, move your body slightly to the left and draw a circle 20 times clockwise and 20 times counterclockwise. Then turn your body to the right and continue as above, drawing a circle 20 times in each direction.

The above tells us in detail what exercise and fitness methods the elderly can use in their daily lives. I believe you all know what exercise and fitness methods the elderly can use. Appropriate physical exercise in daily life can help the elderly improve their body resistance and prevent Alzheimer's disease, and exercise and fitness can prevent muscle aging.
