1. Not warming up before walking
The coordination between joints, bones, muscles and other functions of people over 70 years old is relatively poor. Therefore, these people should warm up before exercising, warming up the body so that the joints move smoothly.
2. Walking too much
For elderly people with many diseases, walking should be moderate, if walking for too long will make the body tired, greatly affecting overall health.
As for healthy elderly people, if their physical condition is suitable, they can walk 30 - 60 minutes every day, usually 5,000 - 6,000 steps.
3. Walking too early
Elderly people should not get up early to walk and exercise , especially in autumn and winter when there is a relatively large temperature difference between day and night. Exercising too early can cause many health risks. Therefore, this group of people should walk 30 minutes to an hour after sunrise.
4. Walk alone
When walking, it is best to have someone accompany you and try to choose a safe and comfortable environment. In particular, elderly people with underlying medical conditions should not exercise alone.
