Chair exercises to test strength and flexibility after 60 years old

Thanh Thanh (T/H) |

Seat exercises to test strength and flexibility after the age of 60 include stretching legs when sitting, pushing weights over the head when sitting.

Stretch your legs while sitting

Sitting leg stretching helps strengthen the quadriceps, which are essential for activities such as standing, walking and climbing stairs. Healthy quadriceps protect your knees, improve stability and make daily movements smoother.

Sit up straight near the front of the chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands on both sides of the chair to maintain balance. Slowly straighten one leg, keeping your toes pointed up. Hold the pose for 2 seconds, then lower your legs to the floor.

Do all the repetitions on one side, then move on to the other leg. Do 3 sets of 12 reps on each leg. Rest 45 seconds between sets.

Push the dumbbells over your Head While Sitting

This exercise helps strengthen the shoulders, upper back and triplicate, supports posture and makes daily shoulder raises easier. Push-ups help improve joint mobility and prevent shoulder stiffness. Chair training creates a solid foundation, allowing you to focus on muscle control and range of motion.

Sit up straight with your legs straight and tighten your torso. Hold a light dumbbell or water bottle at shoulder-width with your palms facing forward. Push both weights up until your arms are completely straight. Slowly lower the dumbbells to the shoulders.

Repeat all the times while maintaining a steady breathing rhythm. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps. Rest 60 seconds between sets.
