Exercise at the age of 55
Do middle-aged people jog in the morning to exercise? Jogging has a positive effect on middle-aged and elderly people to maintain good heart function, prevent lung tissue elasticity from decreasing, prevent muscle atrophy, and prevent coronary heart disease, hypertension and arteriosclerosis.

Jogging works no matter when you start. You can run less at first, or once every other day. After a period of exercise, it will gradually increase to 3000 to 4000 meters a day.

When jogging, relax naturally, take a deep breath, breathe rhythmically, and don't hold your breath.

Don't run too fast, don't run too fast and don't sprint.

To maintain a uniform speed, it is advisable to have a relaxed atmosphere that subjectively won't feel uncomfortable, breathless, flushed and can talk while running.

Objectively speaking, when jogging, the heart rate per minute should not exceed 180 minus age.

For example, if the heart rate of a 60-year-old jogger is 180-60 = 120 beats/min, the running speed of patients with chronic diseases can be appropriately reduced and the distance can be shorter.

Choose a flat road and don't wear leather shoes or plastic shoes. If you are on asphalt or cement roads, you'd better wear thick rubber shoes.

Before running, you should take a walk, take a deep breath and exercise your joints.

If you are on the highway, you should pay attention to safety and try to choose the sidewalk. If you feel loss of appetite, fatigue, dizziness and palpitation after jogging, it may be too much exercise and must be adjusted.
