Exercise and Fitness Guidelines for Men of Different Ages

March 1, 2024

Due to various factors such as age and season, men's daily exercise and health should be connected to their own conditions, personal habits, and external influences in order to achieve the goal of fitness and strong body.


1. Exercise most suitable for young men

Young men have abundant energy and flexibility, and their exercise should focus on high energy consumption and full-body training. The most suitable exercise for young men includes swimming, ball sports, and track and field.

Swimming can enhance men's myocardial function, accelerate the body's metabolism, and enhance the body's adaptability to the external environment. Swimming can also strengthen lung function. Ball sports not only provide physical exercise but also bring enjoyment. Track and field sports are high-energy-consuming and challenging.


2. Fitness methods suitable for middle-aged men

Jogging, Tai Chi, and other exercises are the most suitable fitness methods for middle-aged men. As long as they are persistent, these exercises can harmonize yin and yang, slow down aging, and strengthen the heart and lungs. Of course, those who have the resources can also choose noble sports such as golf.

Since the physical condition of middle-aged men tends to decline, the initial exercise should reduce the intensity appropriately. During jogging, attention should be paid to even breathing and relaxed movements, ensuring that jogging can be done without panting or feeling uncomfortable. If there are symptoms such as loss of appetite, dizziness, and fatigue after exercise, it indicates that the exercise intensity may exceed one's own endurance, and adjustments should be made accordingly; otherwise, it will deplete energy and vitality.


3. Exercise suitable for the elderly

Walking and Tai Chi are the preferred fitness methods for elderly men. They can not only compensate for the disadvantages of aging and physical weakness but also invigorate the meridians, nourish qi and blood, and prolong life.

Walking includes fast walking, which is walking at a faster pace and can be done before breakfast or when going out; after-meal walking, which is walking about 20 minutes after resting after a meal, usually done after dinner; and walking in the countryside, which is done during holidays or park visits, allowing one to enjoy the beautiful environment. There are many ways to walk, and practitioners can choose different intensity and speed of walking exercises according to their own physical fitness.
