5 Essential Exercises For Seniors Over 60

Here’s 5 daily exercises all seniors should be doing. Senior fitness is crucial to prevent common issues as we age…like falls, muscle weakness, mobility problems, hip & knee pain, and stooping. This seniors workout, to do at home, includes sarcopenia exercises which help prevent the type of muscle wasting that can have a dramatic effect on the health of the elderly. And it only take about 5-7 minutes a day!

------------------------------
EXERCISES FOR SENIORS:
1. Single leg stands. The first exercise is essential for better balance & fall prevention, but it also helps reduce hip & knee pain by strengthening the outer glutes, legs, and feet. If you only do one exercise, do this single leg balance exercise.
2. Heel & Toe Raise. The second exercise improves leg circulation (for people with leg swelling). It strengthens the calves to make walking up & down inclines easier. And it helps us to lift our toes more as we walk to avoid stumbling over things.
3. 'Chin Tuck PLUS'. The third exercise is one of the best chair exercises for seniors. It helps to prevent us from becoming stooped as we age. A bent forward posture makes us feel stiff & old, predisposes us to shoulder problems, and brings our centre of gravity forward, increasing the change of stumbling.
4. Sit Squats. This fourth strengthens crucial muscles for mobility, and makes getting up from a chair a lot easier. It's the best of the leg exercises for seniors because it works so many important muscles, so it helps reduce muscle wasting, or ‘sarcopenia’ as it’s known, in the lower body, which is a major cause of problems as we get older.
5. Wall push-up. The last exercise covers the upper body & core. This improves shoulder health, posture (as long as you keep your chin tucked in while you do it), and reduces muscle wasting in the upper body
--------------------------
SARCOPENIA: Age-related loss of muscle
• Affects 5-13% of 60-70 y/o people, and 11-50% aged 80+
• Muscle strength declines by 1.5% between 50 & 60 y/o. And by 3% thereafter.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
• 58% higher risk of fracture
• 1.5 - 4.6 times higher risk of disability
• Twice as likely to be hospitalized
• 41% higher mortality rate in older adults

Probally 40 years to late but I was into martial arts when I was young. It gave me great core and balance and wish all young folk would partake. In my 30's, I used to stand one legged with my other leg lifted and my foot rested on my knee while doing dishes. Kinda like a one legged bird. I now realize all this (hopefully) will benefit me in my senior years. 64 years old here. Daily 1 hour walks should also help. STAY ACTIVE PEOPLE!

I find the single leg balance is best done standing in doorway with a hand on each side of the wall, you can do static and progress to small rotations with hand assist as needed !!

Thank you for this. I'm 59 and my right leg collapsed right under me about 8 weeks ago. I've been going to a chiropractor and physical therapist to build up my leg and glute muscles and I will add these additional exercises to my routine!

At 61, I had started to let myself go and fell over a tiny lip on a paver whilst walking. Post embarrassment, whilst nursing a sore rib cage I realised I needed to get off the couch and do something about it! That was a month ago and in just 4 weeks I'm a different person. I follow you and a number of other great physios who givus on older people on KZbin. Doing a combo of exercises throughout the week and walking 6 to 7km 4 to 5 times per week, I feel fitter and stronger than I did 10 years ago. My previous knee issues have disappeared too as I've worked on my glutes 😊

Tks I am 92 and I do these exercises

[@davidwayne9982]

I mentioned this technique from my previous martial arts years-- but works GREAT to STRENGTHEN muscles a LOT quicker and SAFELY (no joint issues ever with this)... it's simply this- do the exercise position statically- and while in the position- FLEX!!! and hold. Doing this causes double stretch, and a LOT of strength gains QUICKLY and easily-- and SAFELY!!

Yes, both retract the neck from an extended mid back position. This sitting one is a bit easier, but if you can do the Sphinx one, you'll get a bit more mid back mobilising 👍👍👍

[@BodyFixExercises]

Thanks a lot

[@afq4u21]

I appreciate you sir, thank you. My mid back is somewhat curved, not drastically, but more as l age. I am 68 and concerned that it will worse in time. With continuing your exercise regarding the mid back it straighten a little and is it better to wear a brace every so often? In other words, does the spine get a correction?

[@BodyFixExercises]

If you mid back is curved to the side it cannot be corrected, but if it's just too rounded and sticks out further to the back, this is something that can be corrected with exercises in most cases

[@afq4u21]

@BodyFixExercises Sorry, but l'm not sure l know what you mean when you say curved to the side. I mean that the curve is near the spine. Over the years, l have shrunk about 1 and 1/2 cm, either by bad posture or working with computers at my job. Thanks!
