Training for Seniors

Nowadays, the young population are always in hospitals due to  various health problems and doctors highly suggest them to do the regular exercises to avoid these .

  • They must make sure to warm up at least ten minutes before and after the exercise
  • Should not stop the exercise in the middle since it may result in the joint pain and soreness
  • Should maintain correct postures while doing the exercise
