Workouts For Seniors Who Want To Regain Their Youth

Seated Rotations

Seated rotations are another wonderful exercise that works all the muscles of the torso, including the abs and back. To do this easy exercise, begin by sitting on a chair and hold a medicine ball or weight. The suggested weight for women to use is between five and eight pounds, and eight to fifteen pounds for men, however, you can use whatever weight is comfortable for you. Next, hold the weight at your chest with your shoulders relaxed and elbows out to the sides. Keeping your hips and knees facing forward, rotate the torso to one side as far as you comfortably can, and focus on squeezing the muscles around your waist. Rotate back to center, then repeat the motion on the exercise, keeping your movement slow and controlled. Continue doing this exercise while alternating sides for twelve reps or to how many repetitions you can handle. Remember, one rep is to the right and left.
