As we age, it becomes more challenging to maintain physical fitness. This is a natural part of the aging process. However, just because it’s more difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
If you’re over 40, you may want to consider a different approach to exercise. These exercises are specifically designed for individuals in this age group and can yield incredible results.
SWISS BALL SQUAT
For this exercise, you will need a Swiss ball. Hold the Swiss ball in the air above your head. Straighten your back and position your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly lower your body as if sitting on a chair. Hold this position for a few seconds, then return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 10 times, take a short rest, and then perform another set.
BRIDGE WITH A SWISS BALL
Lie down on the ground with your feet resting on the Swiss ball. Lift your hips and engage your core muscles. Push your body up as high as possible, then return to the starting position. Perform this exercise 15 times.
EXERCISE BALL BACK EXTENSION
Position yourself on a Swiss ball with your feet on the ground and your hands at your sides. Lift your upper body until it forms a straight line with the rest of your body. Hold this position for a few seconds, then return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 10 times.
IN AND OUT SQUATS
This exercise is similar to a basic squat, but you need to alternate spreading your feet apart. Repeat this exercise 20 times.
JUMPING JACK
Start with your hands and feet together and your back straight. As you jump, spread your legs and raise your arms above your head. Repeat this exercise several times.
