Take a cue from Dharmendra: How water workouts can be a game-changer for elderly
When veteran actor Dharmendra, on Sunday, shared a video of himself gracefully working out in a pool, it wasn't just a heartwarming moment, it was a reminder of how powerful water exercises can be, especially for actor is 89, and yet he looked enjoying himself in the pool, of course, with an instructor by his side, helping him get his postures right. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dharmendra Deol (@aapkadharam)advertisementWith age, mobility becomes a huge issue with the elderly, and to keep them active and healthy, does a water workout sound like a good plan?Is it better? First things first: all water exercises are naturally It's all about buoyancy. When you're on land, gravity pulls you down, which means your joints are constantly bearing the load of your full body weight. Think about lifting a dumbbell on land, you're not just lifting the dumbbell, you're fighting gravity too. That's extra pressure on already sensitive when it comes to water, Sanuj Srivastava, a seasoned swimming instructor from Ayodhya Swimming Classes, says that the body becomes lighter, sometimes feeling just a fraction of the weight on land. So, if you weigh around 60 kg normally, you'll feel almost half of that inside the water. Less pressure equals happier body is constantly exercising in water, even when you're just standing or walking around. Water is about 800 times denser than air, meaning every movement meets resistance. Walking across the pool isn't just walking, it's strength training in disguise,' he on the joints: Water workouts are easier for your joints, safer for the bones, and yet incredibly effective for building strength, stamina, and balance. For the elderly who are already grappling with arthritis, joint pain and simply want to stay active without injury risks, water is the ultimate fitness fall risk: As you grow older, your sense of balance and coordination gets affected and as a result movement becomes a challenge. On land, seniors always have to be wary of a slip or a tumble. In water, falling isn't really a thing—you're buoyed up and supported constantly. Plus, maintaining your balance in water actually strengthens your muscles and core, which pays off even on dry covered: As you are aware, swimming and aqua exercises are fantastic for heart health too, so, that's complete water workouts for seniorsSo, if you think your grandparents can try their hands at this activity but are unsure how to go about it, here's a simple starter kit:Walking or jogging in water: Sounds basic, but it's surprisingly aerobics: Fun, group-based classes with floating dumbbells to give you resistance training minus the joint swimming laps: Especially breaststroke, which is gentle, easy to learn, and excellent for a full-body of heavy gym dumbbells, in aqua aerobics, we use floating dumbbells that you push down against the water's resistance," Sanuj points out. "It builds strength without overloading your joints."And if you want something more zen, aqua yoga and aqua stretching are wonderful options to improve flexibility and balance.A few precautions, howeverOf course, it's not just about jumping into the pool and getting started. There are a few important things seniors and their families should always keep in mind:Get a medical clearance first – A doctor's approval is a must before stepping into the water. Since water workouts are cardio-heavy, it's crucial to get it first, especially if there's a history of heart disease or other major health an eye on the blood pressure - Uncontrolled blood pressure can get tricky with water exercises. Always check and monitor and mobility concern - If a senior has severe balance issues, even water exercises can pose challenges. Start slow and consider professional supervision at all workout alone - Especially for seniors who are new to the water or nervous swimmers, having an instructor or lifeguard close by is the water temperature - Water that's too cold can cause muscle cramps or even heart stress. Ideally, pools should be comfortably warm for senior hydrated - This one often gets overlooked. Just because you're in water doesn't mean you're not sweating! Bring a water bottle to the poolside and sip regularly during the workouts are a great way to get seniors moving—and you can even join them (you can read about it here) for the fun. But before taking the plunge, make sure to get a doctor's approval and ensure they're always under the supervision of a trained Watch

Dharmendra Explores Water Fitness: 5 Pool Exercises For A Full-Body Workout
Dharmendra, the Bollywood legend, is proving that age is no barrier when it comes to staying fit. At 89, he continues to work on himself for a healthy life. On Monday, the actor shared a video of himself working out in the pool and it is truly inspiring. In the video, Dharmendra, wearing a T-shirt and a hat, is seen floating effortlessly in the water. He uses a tube to help him stay afloat while performing gentle exercises with a ball. The actor's movements are smooth and flexible. In the second slide, Dharmendra is seen doing arm and leg exercises as his instructor guides him through the motions. It serves as a great reminder that fitness isn't just about working out solo – it's about teamwork and getting the right support to stay strong and healthy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dharmendra Deol (@aapkadharam) Like Dharmendra, you should also try game-changer water exercises. Here's a list of 5 cool and fun exercises you can try next time you hit the pool: 1. Water Walking: It is like walking, but better. The resistance from the water helps tone your muscles while being easy on your knees. Walk briskly around the pool or try walking backwards for a challenge. 2. Water Jogging: Take it up a notch by jogging in place or around the pool. The water's resistance adds intensity to the workout and helps you burn more calories. 3. Flutter Kicks: Hold onto the poolside, keep your body straight and flutter kick your legs. This is a great way to work your core and legs while staying cool. Bonus: you will feel like you are swimming without having to do all the strokes. 4. Leg Raises: Stand in the shallow end and hold onto the side for balance. Slowly raise your legs to the side, working your hip flexors and glutes. Switch sides after a set. It is low-impact and super effective. 5. Water Push-ups: Stand with your hands on the pool edge, elbows bent. Push yourself away from the edge, then slowly lower back down. It is like doing a push-up, but the water resistance makes it feel like you are levitating.
