Old people's body organs are aging, their physiological functions are declining, their motor skills are slow to master, and their adaptability to exercise load is poor.

Therefore, to increase the difficulty, intensity and time of exercise, we must step by step, rather than rushing headlong into it.

Avoid holding your breath when exercising.

Holding your breath during exercise has two disadvantages:

First, the blood circulation is not smooth, and the blood return is blocked, which is easy to make the brain lack oxygen and even dizzy and faint;

Second, it will raise blood pressure and easily induce cerebrovascular accidents such as stroke. When the elderly exercise, don't do strength exercises of holding their breath easily, and it is better to increase the breathing depth appropriately.

Avoid violent confrontation

Most elderly people are willing, but they are unable to do so. Intense antagonistic exercise can easily stimulate the psychology of being brave and ruthless, lead to overload exercise, make the body extremely tired, reduce the immune system, and be prone to diseases and even accidents.

Avoid overloading.

When people reach old age, their muscles gradually atrophy, their strength and quality decrease day by day, their sensitivity and coordination become worse, and their reaction is slower. Excessive load can easily cause muscle and ligament damage.
