What are some exercise-based weight loss prescriptions for obese elderly individuals?

For obese elderly individuals, exercise should first be determined by a doctor's examination to confirm whether they are suitable for exercise and what level of exercise is appropriate.

If you are in good physical condition, you can check yourself by squatting 10-20 times in a row or running in place for 15 seconds. If you do not experience shortness of breath or chest discomfort, you can exercise.

It is best to participate in group exercise or have someone accompany you. Patients should carry emergency medication or a health record card so that they can understand their condition and take medication in time in case of an emergency.

The amount of exercise should be increased gradually, and the speed should not be too fast.

If you feel warm and slightly sweaty during exercise, and feel relaxed, comfortable, and sleep well after exercise, it indicates that the exercise is moderate.

If your heart rate exceeds 100 beats per minute, you should take breaks. Exercise for 30-40 minutes a day. If you experience dizziness, chest tightness, palpitations, poor sleep, or significant fatigue, it indicates that you have over-exercised.

The principle of gradual progress should be followed, starting slowly and gradually increasing the speed, from easy to difficult, and from simple to complex, gradually increasing the time required.

Before exercising, warm up a bit, focusing on whole-body exercises and avoiding overexertion of any one limb or organ. You can choose to walk, jog, practice Tai Chi, or Baduanjin, and you can also combine it with local massage, sunbathing, or medicinal baths.

Breathe naturally and evenly during exercise, paying attention to using abdominal breathing, and try to avoid holding your breath or exerting excessive force.

Do not do handstands, and do not make sudden forward or backward leaning or rapid rotation movements to avoid falling or accidents; it is not advisable to do fast running or prolonged exercise.

Exercise should be done in the early morning, and you should rest properly afterward and get good sleep to create a positive cycle.

Obese elderly people often suffer from coronary heart disease, hypertension, fatty liver, etc., and due to their obesity and clumsiness, coupled with their eagerness to lose weight through exercise, improper exercise can lead to accidents.
