In India, where age is often seen as time to slow down, the increasing number of senior citizens is proving that being fit after 60 is not only possible, but is essential for a healthy life.

Regular exercise even after 60, from strong bones to better balance, helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases, fall and even depression. It also improves energy levels, joint health and mobility, making daily life easier and more independent.

Veteran actor Anita Raj, 62, is one of the leading people for example. “Fitness is very close to me. A few years ago I had a 61 -minute plank and it did not happen. I had to work hard and be very disciplined. Fitness is no longer about seeing in a certain way, it is that you feel about living yourself completely and investing in yourself. I believe that it is never late to start,” he said today.

Experts recommend that power training becomes even more important for older women, especially after menopause. Due to a sudden decline in estrogen levels, age, muscles, and bone density naturally with a decline.

Weight lifting, bodyweight exercise, or resistance training helps to recreate the muscles and support bone strength, which maintains injuries and fatigue in the bay.

“Walking is very good, but it’s not enough. To stay strong, you need to include strength training, flexibility and balanced workouts. Just don’t do, proceed with a purpose. The body deserves more than just a walk,” said Raj.

He said that it is important to start and stay continuously. Listening to your body and avoiding injury through proper form and recovery is as important as exercise.

As Raj said, “My workouts keep me physically, mentally and emotionally strong. It is the best way to remain independent, energetic and injury free. I will continue to work until my body allows me.”
