Touched! The 91-year-old grandma started muscle training in order to stop falling

Recently, I saw a video on YouTube! I was deeply moved by the sports and fitness industry!

This is the confession of a 91-year-old grandmother. Because of her aging, her body is getting worse and worse, and she is difficult to deal with even her basic daily life. I feel like I often fall.

So, with the introduction of a friend, she tried to go to the gym for muscle training.

At the beginning, I couldn't do anything. After eight months, I no longer need crutches and walkers, and I can move freely without falling. More importantly, her body is in different places. All the things are better.

At 91 years old, she started to go to the gym to undergo strength training, just to avoid falling and be able to walk freely. Such a simple wish that cannot be simple

One day! Things that are within reach suddenly become so precious, maybe we should understand!

1. The source of life is in the muscles, and strength training is more effective than applying skin care products.

2. When will the medical/public health community find that there is a better prescription than medicine here?

3. Pay attention to the video. Her personal trainer is also an old lady~

4. What we are practicing here is not a mermaid line, a vest line, but pure muscle strength training

Maybe the people who read this article are young people! But you should know and let your elders know!

The elderly have muscle loss, bone degeneration, and joint stiffness, which directly or indirectly affect their exercise ability, making our lives no longer easy, and their mobility is inconvenient. The most basic thing becomes a luxury!

So, it is urgent to strengthen exercise!

What should we do What to do?

Most people think that "the reasonable exercise prescription for the elderly is to do relaxed exercises, take a walk, shake hands, or do stretching exercises. As they get older, exercises will become easier so that they will not harm their bodies."

Is that true?  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The aging phenomenon we know so far is seriously overlapping with the "less movement phenomenon". Many aging phenomena we have known in the past were later found to be highly related to "less movement". For example, in terms of muscle and bone loss, we found that young people who are extremely less moving will also show these symptoms.

To solve these problems, young people and the elderly are the same. "Using natural movements of the human body" to perform "gradual overload" muscle strength training, may be just easy to move at the beginning, but the effect will not be obvious until the load is gradually increased.

Facts have also proved that if the elderly start to implement muscle strength using the "right" method Training, muscles and bones that were previously thought to be gone will begin to be active again, "These are the effects that cannot be achieved by relaxed exercise."

Encourage the elderly to regard "easy movement" as exercise, and they can only barely move with their gradually declining physical fitness. Encourage the elderly to regard muscle strength training as exercise. The activated muscle tissue can keep them energetic during non-exercise time.

Always do what they can do, and people will not make progress again. "I fear too much and raise too much", and over-maintenance is also a degenerate factor

Bringing their abilities in a gradual manner will keep improving. This is true for young people and the elderly.
