Exercise should be maintained at any age, however doctors advise that after the age of 60, no matter how good your health is, you still have to control these types of activities.
No sit-ups
For the elderly, it is best not to do sit-ups if you cannot do them, because when they get older, they often suffer from lumbar disc herniation. Due to osteoporosis, the risk of fractures due to lumbar compression increases significantly.
At this time, if you continue to do sit-ups, it will put a great burden on the lumbar spine, not only causing more lumbar disc herniation but also possibly causing compression fractures.
Stop climbing stairs to exercise
Nowadays, many elderly people living in high-rise buildings do not want to take the elevator up and down every day, so they form the habit of climbing stairs.
When practicing any sport , you need to listen to your body's reactions, especially your knee joints. If the activity is harmful to your joints, the first reaction is pain, which increases with increased activity and decreases with rest.
If you have osteoarthritis and continue to climb stairs or run a lot, it will make your osteoarthritis worse. If not treated promptly, in addition to pain, your joints may also swell and become hot. At that time, you will have to take many active measures to treat it, but it will still not be completely cured.
Don't twist your waist.
Many older people like to twist their waists because they think it can relax their waists. However, they do not know that twisting the waist is a very dangerous exercise, because twisting the waist requires the support of the muscles in the waist and back. As you get older, the strength of the muscles in the waist and back will naturally decrease, so twisting the waist too hard will only damage the bones.
Do not bend down to pick up heavy objects.
Many elderly people like to bend down to lift heavy objects, and then exercise their arm muscles in this way. However, they do not know that this is very dangerous because the elderly bend down to lift heavy objects, which will create a very large burden. Moreover, when lifting heavy objects , the pressure in the abdomen increases sharply, which can easily lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and can also be dangerous.
Do not play heavy sports
People over 60 years old are not suitable for sports that can affect the body such as football and basketball.
Even if you love this sport when you are young, you should limit playing it when you are over 60 years old because these sports often require high speed running and often sudden acceleration and deceleration. Danger can easily come at this time.
Furthermore, during strenuous training, human-to-human collisions can occur, which also carries great risks.
