How to do safe exercise in the gym
Exercise is a good habit. Compared with gymnasiums in closed spaces, the elderly are most suitable for outdoor activities and engage in safe aerobic exercise such as brisk walking. But there are also fashionable old people who prefer to go to the gym because there are all kinds of sports equipment there. How to do safety sports? It depends on what kind of diseases the old people have.

Old people with hypertension, diabetes or cardiovascular dysfunction must measure their blood pressure and blood sugar before exercise and pay attention to their physical condition. If they are in a bad state, for example, their blood pressure has exceeded 65,438+080 or dropped below 65,438+000 mm Hg before exercise, they might as well rest. Although long-term regular exercise can lower blood pressure, it is necessary to control blood pressure before exercise.

Patients with rotator cuff inflammation, degenerative arthritis and lumbar disc herniation should consult a doctor before making muscle training equipment, because different parts of the client's disease have different taboos in the choice of exercise. However, exercise is not recommended in the acute stage of pain attack. In addition, older women have a high risk of osteoporosis, so it is not recommended to choose weight-bearing training equipment.

If you use "weight training equipment", such as dumbbells, repeat 10 to 12 times from the lowest weight. Don't give too much burden at once.

Cardiopulmonary endurance training is mainly based on "medium and low intensity". The formula of target heart rate is 220 minus age, and the heart rate of the elderly is set at 65% ~ 75%. For example, at the age of 75, 220 minus 75 times 0.65 to 0.75, which means it is recommended to maintain the heart rate at around 94 to 108.
