A collection of beautiful quotes about fitness for the elderly

The core of "A Collection of Beautiful Phrases for Fitness for the Elderly" is not at all a collection of gorgeous words. Instead, each sentence touches on the real pain points of fitness for middle-aged and elderly people and takes into account the scientific nature of exercise. It can be used as a mantra of encouragement and as a daily reminder to avoid pitfalls. There is no unified template. Sentences that adapt to different scenarios and different physical states are truly useful "beautiful sentences".

To be honest, I used to think that this kind of sentence was an old cliche that has been shouted for decades like "Life lies in sports". Until I went downstairs to pick up the express delivery last week, I almost laughed out loud when I saw the community square dance team shouting slogans - what they shouted before was copied from the Internet, "Come on." Come on, I am the strongest." It was like a primary school student holding a sports meeting. Within two weeks, no one was willing to open his mouth. Now the change is "Dance for ten more minutes, and eat an extra piece of soy pork elbow tonight." The aunties in the front row shouted louder and louder, and their steps were more precise. There are many such down-to-earth sentences, all collected by old sisters who often get together to do gymnastics: "After dinner, I took a walk and my wife praised me for being able to carry rice." "I did a good job swinging my arms and expanding my chest, and the pain in my shoulders and neck was driven away." "We danced together in the square, and there was no resentment among the neighbors." There is no big reason, they are all real benefits, and they can be spoken easily.

But if you love to be quiet and spend every day in the park doing Tai Chi and practicing Baduanjin, you will definitely not be comfortable with the babbling sound just now. In the past two months, I went to a Tai Chi class with the elderly at home, and the sentences spoken by my old boxing friends were of a different style. Master Wang, who taught boxing, always said "Sink your shoulders, drop your elbows, stabilize your lower body, and go upstairs without panting or weak legs." This is really true. The core of Tai Chi is to stabilize the lower body and practice the core. Many old people practice for three months. They had to rest twice before climbing to the third floor, but now they can go directly to the fifth floor carrying vegetables. However, there are also differences within this group of old boxing friends. Some prefer those that are beautiful and artistic, such as "After practicing Tai Chi for three hundred days, the breeze will flow around you freely." They feel that boxing is about calming the mind and having a sense of atmosphere. ； The other group feels that it is vain, and nothing they say is worse than "I am slightly sweaty after a set, and the physical examination indicators are all good." In fact, both sides have their own reasons, and there is no conclusion. Anyway, just say that you feel comfortable.

There are also some hard-core old men who don't like to join in the fun. They hang out in the fitness equipment area of ​​the community every day to touch the horizontal bar and practice pedaling machines. Some even follow the juniors to the gym to lift irons. The sentences they speak are another way. The 72-year-old Uncle Li in our community can do 12 pull-ups in one go. The words on his enamel tank are the words he asked someone to do: "Pulling iron without struggling, muscles don't work." Every time someone comes up to him and asks him about his fitness secrets, his first sentence is definitely "choose light weights rather than heavy weights. Only when the joints are comfortable will it be useful." However, there are also many old people who like to encourage themselves, often shouting "Seventy years for shoulder training and eighty years for back training, and you will live to be a hundred without suffering." This sounds encouraging, but the rehabilitation doctors I know have also warned that this kind of slogan can easily make impatient old people blindly compare the amount of exercise. They can only lift two kilograms of dumbbells but insist on lifting five kilograms, which injures the rotator cuff.

If the elderly at home don't like to go out, they can stretch their muscles and practice simple yoga at home. There are also many sentences that are suitable to be posted on the wall as reminders, such as "Stretch for three minutes a day" posted next to the yoga mat, and the waist will not be sore and the back will not hurt. "" posted on the back of the door Bring a cup of warm water with you when you go out, and you won’t have to rest when you’re tired.” I’ve even seen an old man put a sticker on his walking machine, “You don’t need to hurry up when you walk, stop if you sweat a little.” It’s all based on my own experience gained from going through pitfalls, and it’s more effective than any number of fitness tutorials.

In fact, there is no standard "encyclopedia". To put it bluntly, these sentences are little crutches on the road to fitness. Being easy to use is better than anything else. Some old people like to hear auspicious words, so it is good to "move every day, and happiness and longevity will come naturally" ； Some elderly people are pragmatic and like to listen to things related to eating, raising children, and physical examinations. Then go for it. There is no need to have unified standards - after all, fitness is about being happy and comfortable. Sentences that make you willing to move are the best beautiful sentences.
