Bhagyashree shared in the video, \u201cNinety percent of people fail this test. Exercise can be done at any age, and your real age is reflected by how fit your body is. So let\u2019s do a quick test.\u201d The actor began with a balance exercise, explaining that maintaining balance is essential to prevent falls as people age. \u201cIf you can hold it for 10 seconds, give yourself one point,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She then moved on to flexibility, noting its significance for lower back<\/a> health. \u201cFlexibility is crucial for the lower back, so only go as far as you comfortably can,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the importance of shoulder mobility in everyday activities, Bhagyashree added, \u201cFrom getting dressed to reaching for things kept overhead, shoulder mobility is extremely important, and that\u2019s why this exercise matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor also demonstrated a posture that participants were required to hold for one minute. \u201cIf you can hold it for one minute, give yourself another point,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Why proper breathing and yoga matter<\/p>\n

Addressing breathing techniques, Bhagyashree<\/a> pointed out that many adults struggle because they breathe incorrectly. \u201cPlace one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Your stomach should expand outward as you breathe,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

According to Bhagyashree, proper diaphragmatic breathing allows the lungs to expand more fully and improves oxygen intake. \u201cThis gives your lungs more space and allows your body to receive more oxygen,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Concluding her message on International Yoga Day<\/a>, the actor emphasised yoga\u2019s role in promoting long-term wellness and healthy ageing. \u201cYoga is a simple and reliable way to move toward healthy ageing. On International Yoga Day, I urge everyone to make yoga a part of their daily routine,\u201d Bhagyashree said.<\/p>\n
