Regular exercise is key when it comes to your health and wellbeing. The NHS actually recommends we complete at least 150 minutes of physical activity every week to help lower our risk for dangerous health issues.

Taking part in exercise is known to slash your risk for many health issues and diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and even cancer among others.

This becomes especially important the older we become. However, as we age being physically active can get harder.

But this doesn’t need to stop us, one fitness guru has said. Deron Buboltz, founder of Grow Young Fitness – which specialises in fitness for older people – shared a simple one minute workout suitable for seniors.

Made up of three different exercises, this routine will help “tighten your waistline”, he said.

Speaking on social media platform TikTok, he said: “A quick one minute workout containing three exercises that you can do to tighten your waistline.”

These exercises were:

  • Kicking and reaching
  • Jumping jacks
  • Bicycle crunches.

All three exercises are performed while sitting on a chair.

Deron explained: “Exercise number one – we are just going to alternate kicking and reaching across.

“Again, alternating foot, alternating hand. Do that for 20 total seconds.”

As described, Deron remained in his chair and kicked one leg out at a time while reaching his opposite hand out to the foot.

For the second exercise he performed seated star jumps – or jumping jacks.

“Exercise number two, arms come up,” he said.

“We’re doing little jumping jacks, all from this chair. Again, out and in again. Do that for 20 total seconds.”

To finish the routine he said: “And exercise number three, we’re just going to do nice little bicycle crunches.

“Rotate from the upper body or upper body stays straight.

“And you lift that knee again. Do that for 20 seconds.”

These involved touching his head with his hands and having his elbows out to the side while bringing one knee up and touching it with the opposing elbow.

Deron added: “Each one of those three for 20 seconds is one minute.

“You can repeat them. You feel you have the energy and stamina. Hopefully you learned something. Hopefully you enjoy it. As always, remember to keep it moving.”
