There is no running involved whatsoever.
If you have been wondering how can I lose belly fat, then this is the perfect exercise for you. If you think you need to run to lose weight, then think again, especially if you are looking to get flatter and leaner abs. In fact, by increasing your muscle mass, your metabolism will also increase, and muscle will burn calories much more quickly than body fat, which in turn helps you to lose weight fast and also helps you to keep it off.

This exercise consists of movements that are prolonged in their nature, perfect for the elderly as it can help improve coordination and balance, a much-needed skill, especially in the later years of a person’s life. It can also go a long way in preventing unnecessary falls, most essential, especially as this part of a person’s life can be really affected by the slightest fall which could lead to more serious complications.
It is also an exercise you can do at your own pace, make it as hard or as easy as you want and adjust the workout accordingly.
It can also help the elderly get a better range of motion in their body, helping them to be more independent and do tasks that they may typically ask someone else to do.
The exercise movements are significantly based on stretching and the more safely and efficiently you can learn to stretch, the more supple and flexible your body will become.
