Knee
Strengthening Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly
Knee strengthening exercises for seniors and the elderly are
important for maintaining balance and avoiding falls.
The knee extension exercise below is the easiest of the knee
rehab exercises to perform.
The ability to stand easily and fully extend your knee is vital
in maintaining your functional independence.
Make sure you fully
extend and flex your knee while performing this exercise to gain the most
benefit.
As we age our joints begin to lose some of their flexibility and
range of motion.
The 7 Worst
Training Mistakes I've Ever Made…
4. Not
Eating Enough Fat or Protein
After my first year of training, I gained 75 pounds of
bodyweight…and I say bodyweight because it was NOT all muscle. So I decided to
go on a fat-loss diet…and I did it completely wrong.
In an effort to reduce calories, I eliminated just about ALL fat
from my diet. That’s mistake #1. I also decreased my intake of animal protein
(in that same effort to reduce fat intake), which was mistake #2. I lost some
fat but I lost a lot of muscle and strength doing this. It literally took me
MONTHS to realize what my mistake was (I read an article about it), correct it
and start regaining my muscle and strength.
I corrected it by eating whole eggs and not taking the skin off
my chicken (…mmm chicken skin…)…and I suddenly begain growing like a weed,
gaining strength and dropping fat. I felt so much better and realized exactly
how I had messed myself up.
The Lesson:
Don’t be afraid of fat…it’s not your enemy even when you’re on a
diet. Your body NEEDS fat in order to function, especially from a hormonal
perspective (testosterone is derived from saturated fat). You need to watch
your calories, sure, and there are nutrient-intake techniques that do require
elimination of fat from the diet in a strategic manner. In general, though,
don’t eliminate fat from your diet and DEFINITELY don’t let your protein intake
suffer as a side effect of trying to reduce fat.
