The old woman's name is Vanga Sjordin. She is 82 years old this year, but she still insists on fitness training four days to six times a week for about an hour each time. And she is not only all the bodybuilders in her gym, but also some professional bodybuilders, all of whom admire her. Probably the same idea as 2 17. I wish grandma was so strong at her age.
Sjodin started fitness training at the age of 18 and persisted for nearly 40 years. But she only did fitness training because of running injury, and she was participating in a marathon. Therefore, during the rehabilitation training, under the guidance of doctors, some rehabilitation strength training was carried out, but it never stopped.
Weight-bearing push-ups
Many people say that strength training will strengthen the body, but it will also damage the body, especially some training actions will hurt the knees and affect walking when you are old. But seeing the 82-year-old grandmother's body, but with such a young body, do you still believe those statements that strength training will damage her body and knees?
In fact, some injuries are inevitable, such as the knee, which is natural even when walking or jogging. But as long as we insist on using correct methods, standardized movements and training all the year round, this kind of injury will be minimized. For example, properly training the muscles around the knee and thigh muscles, these muscles have a strong supporting effect on the knee, and the occasional reading gravity on the knee will be dispersed, so this is the benefit of strength training.
For muscle strength training, regardless of age, just like Sjodin, even if you are over 80 years old, you can carry out a certain intensity of strength training as long as your body allows. The elderly insist on strength training, which can effectively prevent some health problems of the elderly, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, endocrine disorders, internal circulation metabolism problems, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems and so on. Strength training can strengthen myocardium and skeletal muscle to some extent. By strengthening these muscle groups, we can not only strengthen the protection of bones, but also promote blood circulation, improve metabolism, optimize endocrine system and make people look young. Therefore, even if Sjodin is over 80 years old, her fitness training intensity is not necessarily worse than that of her younger people.
And because of her persistence, her husband followed her for fitness training, and the old couple's diet and physical fitness were much better than their peers.
What will we be like when we are 80 years old? Will there be such a spirit? Do you still have a 30-year-old mentality at the age of 80? I'm not sure, but what I do know is that there are many people in their thirties now, but they have bodies in their forties and fifties, and they are old and old. Young, the past is over, but there is a way to keep your mind, mind and even body in a "young state". Do you want it?
