The method of aerobics for middle-aged and elderly people, different exercises are suitable for doing at different times, and this exercise is still relatively high intensity. Active exercise is also a life attitude, and exercise can prevent the "three highs". The following aerobics methods for middle-aged and elderly people are shared, hoping to help everyone!

The method of aerobics for middle-aged and elderly people is 1 1. Many middle-aged and elderly people sit incorrectly. Most of them lie flat on the ground, lift the whole upper body, put their hands across their necks, and touch their knees with elbows. This practice leads to long-term exertion on the muscles at the root of the thigh, while almost no exertion on the abdomen. If this goes on for a long time, the waist muscles will be tense and the neck nerves will be compressed.

The correct way is to lie flat and keep your upper body straight, so that your waist can really get strength. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to the waist not leaving the ground, then slowly lower their bodies to their original positions and repeat the above actions. When the abdominal muscles pull the body up, exhale slowly to ensure that the deeper muscles in the abdomen participate at the same time, so as to get exercise.

2. Many people do sit-ups at home. Everyone thinks this sport is getting better and better. In fact, it is easy to cause abdominal muscle strain. Too fast frequency can't improve the exercise effect. Only by slowing down the exercise rhythm properly can we avoid the physical discomfort caused by excessive fatigue and enhance the training effect of abdominal muscles. In order to achieve the goal of reducing abdominal fat, it is necessary to control the rhythm and avoid doing a lot of sit-ups from the beginning, which will lead to muscle pain. Middle-aged and elderly people can try to do it five times a minute at first, and then gradually increase it until it reaches about 30 times.

3. When doing sit-ups, try to keep your body balanced, don't swing from side to side, and don't deviate from a straight line. Try to control the direction of sit-ups and try to slow down. It is best to feel the movement of abdominal muscles when you get up, so that middle-aged and elderly people can exercise abdominal muscles well.

4, simple sit-ups can only achieve the effect of local slimming, but also need to cooperate with other aerobic exercise. Long-term sit-ups can strengthen abdominal muscles, but other parts of the body, such as thighs and buttocks, get relatively little exercise. It is impossible to lose weight in a certain part by only one kind of exercise.
