Sports suitable for the elderly

1. Walking is the easiest for middle-aged and elderly people to master, and it is an activity that can be exercised anytime and anywhere. Choose a quiet environment, fresh air, lush trees, relax and walk slowly, and you will feel relaxed and refreshed. Taking part in dating and social activities, if the distance is not far and there is plenty of time, is also a good opportunity to exercise endurance, and you can take a step and arrive at your destination in time.

2. At the beginning of fitness running, you should stretch your limbs, relax your muscles and get ready for activities. Then spread your arms back and forth, coordinate and rhythm, take a deep breath and breathe evenly. Exercise should be from slow to fast, and the time should be from short to long. I started jogging for 5 ~ 10 minutes without feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, and then gradually increased to 15 ~ 20 minutes, once a day or once every other day.

Finally, it can even be increased to 30 ~ 40 minutes. After you finish slowly, walk or stand slowly, don't stop immediately, relax and tidy up, and gradually return to a quiet state.
