Exercise and having a balanced routine are essential parts of keeping up a good lifestyle. As we age, the types of workout the body can do also change and keeping up with the differences is necessary. Regular exercise can help manage chronic conditions, improve mobility, and enhance mental health.
This blog will explain some exercises that are necessary for Elderly men and how it helps with the ageing body.
Exercise is vital in the Old Age to:
Having a good morning or evening walk can have an exceptional effect on health in Old Age. Walking regularly improves cardiovascular health, and also helps in maintaining weight. It is a good way to strengthen bone health as well. A 30-minute walk around the park, interacting with fellow Elders also helps with loneliness.
Yoga is growing very popular as a lifestyle enhancing workout. However, the people who would have the maximum positive impact of Yoga would be the Elderly due to the movement being limited in old age. Yoga can help with flexibility and joint pain, which is very common as you age. Yoga is also proven to be great for mental relaxation. There are a lot of Online Yoga Events being held on the GenWise App that makes it easy and accessible to anyone with a phone. All of these Events are especially curated for the elders.
There are a lot of variations of exercises using a chair that is helpful to people with limited mobility. Mobility is an issue created by joint pain during ageing, and can hinder people from achieving physical movement. Even though this would not transform their whole body, people who are slightly older in age can do Arm and Leg Lifts with the help of a chair to stay independent in simple movements of daily life.
Stretching in old age helps in reducing muscle stiffness and helps in gaining back the mobility in joints. The best way to incorporate stretching into daily routine is to start with shoulder rolls, hamstring stretches, etc for 15-30 second hold in each set.
Regular exercise is essential for maintaining the health and vitality of elderly men in India. By incorporating walking, yoga, strength training, chair exercises, and stretching exercises into their routine, seniors can enjoy a more active and fulfilling life. Remember to prioritise safety, consult with a healthcare provider, and listen to your body’s needs. With consistent effort, elderly men can achieve and maintain better physical and mental health well into their golden years.
