Strengthening exercises for the elderly | Part 2 | lower limbs

Aged people often sit for a relatively larger amount of time, and this lack of physical activity sometimes results in obesity, being off-balance, or having a high BMI. Workouts and exercises help keep these conditions in check.

Many people erroneously believe that senior people cannot exercise. Exercise is much more than just walking, running, or performing complex gym postures. There are many strength-based exercises, such as theraband exercise, which are beneficial for all seniors especially for wheelchair users. They have a lot of advantages, both mental and physical. Here are some of the benefit:

During workouts, a stress-busting hormone ‘endorphin’ is released. In the long run, endorphin helps in sustaining the sleep cycle and improving your general mood.
Theraband workouts help in strengthening body parts such as legs and arms, which make you capable of doing regular day-to-day tasks with ease, making you independent plus helping you retain your muscle mass.
Theraband exercises help in improving balance, which is very important for people in their advancing years. An increase in muscle tone helps to protect joints and prevents them from becoming stiff.
Theraband is lightweight and portable. Their biggest advantage is, one can use them by themselves without any outside help of a trainer or guide. They are very low risk and easy to use with almost no side effects.
Here in this video we have tried demonstrating upper limb strengthening exercises which can be performed in both sitting and standing position. Please perform these exercises on regular basis atleast 2 to 3 days a week and let us know how you feel.
