The article emphasizes the importance of core exercises, particularly deadlifts, for maintaining strength and functionality as one ages. As people reach their 50s, 60s, and beyond, it's crucial to focus on exercises often neglected in younger years to ensure mobility, strength, and pain-free movement. Physiotherapists and personal trainers highlight deadlifts for their comprehensive benefits, engaging multiple muscle groups and promoting fundamental movement patterns essential for daily activities, such as lifting groceries and children.
One of the lovely things about getting older is realising there's always something more you should be doing to look after your body.
If you take the slightest interest in your health, and want to stay strong, mobile and pain-free in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, you'll have to pay attention to the exercises that many of us avoid in our 20s, 30s and 40s.
Lifting your grocery bags off the ground on to the counter, lifting your laundry basket off the ground, lifting your kid/grandkid.
If I could only do one exercise in the gym ever again, deadlifts are the one I would do.
