Age can never be an excuse for sports. It is true that as we get older, there are more chances of suffering from some type of illness, injury, syndrome, etc., which limits us a bit, but the work can always be individualized to the person.
When we talk about physical exercise we do not have to refer to heavy work with loads, but to all kinds of physical strategies that involve movement and increase the health and well-being of the person.
This time we bring you five exercises that can help you to lose body fat, improve your joint mobility, etc.
Planks in Fitball
The plates are one of the best exercises to work the whole Core since you have to stay stable. In this case, to increase the difficulty a little morewe place the forearms on a fitball, complicating stability and, therefore, making the Core stronger.
dead bug
Another great exercise to work the core. To do it correctly we have to lie on our back with a flexion of the shoulders, hips and knees that leaves the joints at 90º (like the image on the left).
Then we lower the right leg and left arm without losing stability at any time. Then, we go up and do the same thing again with the opposite arm and leg.
Press Pallof
This exercise can be done in many ways, both with a pulley and with a rubber band. This exercise is great for work the anti-rotation muscles of the core.
We move away, push and avoid a rotation of our trunk.
bird-dog
The bird dog is a great exercise to improve our thoracic and lumbar mobility; besides being a good exercise for the core. To correctly perform the bird dog, we get on our knees and hands. The goal is that flex the left shoulder and extend the right hip and knee until they form like a straight line. All this must be done while maintaining the neutrality of the entire column. When we return, we only have to repeat the movement but with the other arm and leg.
TRX knee-to-chest plank
In the first place we will color ourselves as in a Abdominal plate in TRX. We must take into account that our feet are well attached to the TRX since we could have an accident and fall.
Next, we just have to bend our knees and hips until our knees reach our chest and back without sinking the hip.
