Exercises to delay the signs of aging

A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found important effects of exercise in helping to delay some signs of aging.

Here are 5 expert-approved work exercises you should include in your daily routine to reduce the effects of aging:

Squat

This particular exercise helps strengthen lower body and core muscles, burn more calories, lose weight, and reduce the risk of diseases associated with aging.

However, you can only get these health benefits if you squat properly and improper squats can erode the cartilage in your knees and hips.

Weight training exercise

Everyone should do a weightlifting exercise at least once a week, according to some fitness instructors, and the weightlifting exercises target all the muscles in the legs, lower back, and torso responsible for maintaining orientation and body position.

Push ups

This is one of the strength exercises anyone of any age or fitness level can do.

Push-ups for the chest, shoulders, triceps, and forearms can increase core strength in your body and help improve balance and stability, which is especially important with age to prevent falls and injuries.

Overhead weight lifting exercise

People need to do this regularly to keep fit as they age. Performing overhead weightlifting helps build and maintain optimum upper body strength.

Lunge exercises

Single-leg exercises, such as lunges, help correct muscle imbalances, improve balance, and prevent injuries. It can also help you strengthen your core muscles.
