Hi everyone and Happy New Year. We found a video that we thought could help people to get off to a good start for the new year. It’s titled 5 Science-Backed Exercises that Reverse Aging. Wow, who doesn’t need that? The demonstrator is Shrey Vazir and he is a Physiotherapist.

We lose muscle mass and strength loss as we age. Sarcopenia in the elderly is the loss of muscle linked to aging. It gives way to loss of muscle power which in the end results in frailty and disability.

The following are exercises that can not only prevent sarcopenia but also reverse its effects.

Exercises:

1. The Squat. The squat activates muscles in the back and core. Recommended to start 2 X 10 Reps.
2. The Modified Crunch. This exercise builds a strong core. It also helps to reduce back pain in later years. Recommended to start 2 X 15 Reps.
3. The Reverse Lunge. This exercise builds strong legs and glutes. It also can improve hip joint health. Recommended to start 2 X 10 Reps.
4. The Modified Pushup. This exercise builds the chest, shoulders and bi-ceps. Recommended to start 2 X 10 Reps.
5. The Glute Bridge. This exercise is designed to tighten the core. Recommended to start 2 X 10 Reps.

The message that we took away from this video is slow and steady. That’s the key to reversing sarcopenia.
