5 POOR FITNESS RED FLAGS TO BEWARE OF

The more you become older, the more important it is to keep fit.
A balanced diet and exercise are essential for your general health and well-being, regardless of your lifestyle.

The older you become, the more your body tells you what you need and don’t need. So, what are the signals that it’s time to go to the gym? Here are five fitness red signs to look out for as you get older:

Climbing the stairs exhausts you:
The older you become, the more difficult it is to walk a flight of steps without feeling like the world is crashing on you. Walking up the stairs, on the other hand, should not wear you out if you’re fit; if it does, it’s time to put your gym subscription on hold. Consider taking longer walks and going up stairs to increase your endurance and help you get in your daily steps.

You can’t do a pushup: If one pushup appears difficult, your upper-body strength and endurance are reduced. So now is the time to increase your muscle mass and strength endurance in order to improve your health.

Begin with an inclination, learn the form, and increase your strength before progressing to floor workouts.

You are unable to do a squat.
Squats and lunges are simple bodyweight exercises that you should be able to perform with ease. These workouts increase your legs’ balance, coordination, and strength. So practice with proper form and do it frequently.

You are easily hurt.
Being easily hurt is another indicator of inadequate fitness. Anyone who ignores health and fitness is prone to injury, whether it is straining one’s back from bending or becoming injured while participating in a relaxing activity. These are symptoms of a lack of flexibility, which also affects the strength and stability of your muscles. Stretch on a daily basis to strengthen your body.

Finally,

You can’t run a mile.
Inability to run a mile indicates a lack of fitness. Make this your objective, starting with small distances until you can.
