Flexibility exercises are crucial for seniors to maintain mobility. Here are some essential stretching routines:
Gently tilt your head toward one shoulder, hold for 15-30 seconds, then switch sides.
Bring one arm across your body and hold it with the opposite arm for 15 seconds. Switch arms.
Sit on the floor with legs extended. Reach toward your toes while keeping your back straight to stretch your hamstrings.
While standing, hold onto a chair for balance. Grab your ankle and pull it toward your buttocks to stretch your quads.
On all fours, alternate between arching your back and sinking it toward the floor to maintain spinal flexibility.
