Ageing is often associated with slowing down, but one 90-year-old is proving that staying active can remain a lifelong habit. In a video shared by physiotherapist Akash Singh, the nonagenarian is seen confidently working out at the gym. He challenges the common misconception that strength training is only for younger people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The clip shows the elderly man stretching, doing assisted sit-ups with a bar, lifting dumbbells, and rowing. The side note read, \u201c\u201cGym is only for young bodybuilders\u201d one of the biggest fitness myths. This legend is 90 years old and still showing up, moving, training, and getting stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the physiotherapist, the gym isn’t just for six-pack abs, bodybuilding, or looking aesthetic. It’s for staying strong and independent, improving balance, mobility, and flexibility. Regular exercise also helps your body build muscle and stronger bones while reducing pain and stiffness so that you can live a healthier, longer, and better life.<\/p>\n
“You don’t stop exercising because you get old\u2026You become weaker when you stop moving. Whether you’re 18 or 89, strength training and exercise are for everyone,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
