  • The CDC recommends the following weekly physical activity for adults aged 65 and older: 150 minutes a week minimum of moderate aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, like jogging. Two days a week minimum of strengthening exercises, like lifting weights.

The article from CNET discusses three exercises designed to help defy the aging process by improving physical health and vitality. The first exercise, Squats, is highlighted for its ability to strengthen the lower body, particularly the quads, hamstrings, and glutes, while also enhancing balance and mobility, which can deteriorate with age. Push-ups are recommended next, focusing on upper body strength, specifically targeting the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core, which helps in maintaining independence in daily activities. Lastly, Planks are suggested for core strength, which supports posture, reduces back pain, and improves overall stability. Each exercise is described with variations to accommodate different fitness levels, emphasizing that regular practice can lead to better physical function and a more youthful, energetic lifestyle.
