Entering the age of 55, the body begins to show many changes, so maintaining physique and fitness becomes a priority for many people. Some simple exercises can help you assess your health status. In fact, if you still master standing movements after age 55, you can even be healthier.
A sedentary lifestyle directly affects the heart, muscles and joints. Therefore, instead of just focusing on a fixed workout, maintaining continuous exercise is the key factor.
For the elderly, combining strength training with stretching, balance exercises and cardio is necessary to maintain overall fitness.
In which, standing exercises bring special effects. These movements require the simultaneous participation of core muscles, coordination, balance, joint flexibility and overall strength.
Instead of isolating each muscle group like when exercising with a machine, the body is moved more naturally, focusing on technique, posture, breathing rhythm and endurance in situations close to real life.
Many people after the age of 55 tend to sit a lot or depend on support when exercising, causing the nervous system and muscles to react gradually slower. Conversely, if you still control your body well in a standing position, especially through complex body movements, you are maintaining a high level of physical strength and motor function.
