Older people should exercise to build their muscles even into their eighties, according to a review which suggests it will help them with everyday tasks, said Padma Shri and Dr B C Roy National Awardee Dr KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India.
Climbing the stairs, housework, walking and even washing was made easier if elderly people worked out two or three times a week, said Chiung-ju Liu of the Department of Occupational Therapy at Indiana University.
People lose muscle as they age, which can make daily chores more difficult. Working out by using small weights or elastic bands can help to rebuild these muscles.
By “walking well”, however, you power yourself around all day using muscles in your bottom, midriff and the backs of your thighs. This brings dramatic, sustainable results.
