elder exercise By using arms instead of legs, there is no restriction on the venue, and there is no risk of injury. It is easy to learn and master.
The specific methods of arm running exercise are:
①Hand movement: The first thing you do in the morning is to move your fingers and swing your arms and wrists, like playing with a fitness ball or doing a hand swing, to promote blood circulation. This action can be done for 1-2 minutes.
②Cyclists: Lie flat on your back, stretch your arms upwards, and move as if turning the pedals of a bicycle with your hands. You can do this for 1-2 minutes.
③Flying: Stand, stretch your arms to both sides, and slowly wave your arms like a bird flapping its wings. It is advisable to do this for 1-2 minutes.
④Punching a sandbag: Imagine there is a sandbag in front of you and hit it with your fist, or boxing with an imaginary opponent. You can do this 10-20 times.
⑤Throwing a ball: Throw a ball into the air and catch it when it falls, or let the ball bounce on the ground or wall and catch it back. If there is no ball, you can also make the gesture of throwing a ball. Do it 10 times with each arm, take a short rest, and do it 10 times again.
