What are the taboos of morning exercise for the elderly?
Getting up in the morning can bring many benefits to the health of the elderly, but there are some things that need our special attention, which are roughly as follows:

(1) It is not advisable to take off your clothes and do outdoor fitness exercises in the morning. Due to the large temperature difference, the elderly should dress neatly when exercising to ensure that their body temperature is not affected by external conditions. Fitness venues should choose playgrounds, parks or grasslands that are sheltered from the wind and sunny, warm and quiet, and have fresh air. Don't run against the wind during exercise, and it is not appropriate to undress during fitness to prevent the adverse effects of large temperature difference on the body.

(2) It is not advisable to exercise too early. It is not advisable to exercise too early in the morning. Due to the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, the elderly are weak, and if they suddenly catch cold, they are prone to catch a cold. Old people should go out to exercise when the sun rises and the outdoor temperature is suitable.

(3) Exercise should not be too hasty. After the elderly get up in the morning, their muscles are slack, their joints and ligaments are stiff, their limbs are uncoordinated, and the functional level of the motor system is low. Before exercise, all joints and muscles should be active to prevent accidental injuries caused by sudden exercise. Old people must do warm-up exercises before exercise, and then start fitness activities after adjusting their physical condition.

(4) The elderly should not exercise on an empty stomach. The metabolic level is relatively low. When they get up in the morning, their blood flow is relatively slow, and their blood pressure and body temperature are low. After a night of digestion, if they exercise on an empty stomach again, it is easy to have hypoglycemia. The elderly are slow to respond to the drop of blood sugar, and often the body will react when the blood sugar level drops to a very low level. If hypoglycemia occurs during outdoor exercise, it is likely to cause coma and fall, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia and other very dangerous situations. In order to ensure the safety of exercise and fitness, the elderly can't exercise on an empty stomach when they get up in the morning.

(5) Not suitable for strenuous exercise. The elderly are physically weak and have poor adaptability. They shouldn't be too nervous and exercise for too long in the morning. We should do more moderate exercise, such as walking, Tai Ji Chuan, radio gymnastics and so on. Instead of endurance sports such as strong confrontation or long-distance running.

(6) It is not a good habit to force the elderly to get up in the morning, but you can't force yourself to do morning exercises every day. Before getting up in the morning, check your pulse and blood pressure to see if it is within the normal range. If it is abnormal compared with the usual pulse and blood pressure, it is recommended not to do morning exercise that day, at least adjust the load of morning exercise to reduce the exercise load. Don't blindly ask yourself to be a model every day, but adjust the exercise intensity in a timely and moderate manner.
