What exercise does 86-year-old Kim Young-ok do daily for her musculoskeletal system? It's a huge help in middle age.

Actress Kim Young-ok (86) revealed that she climbs stairs and does leg raises for her bone health.

 

On the MBN show "Check Time Again" aired on the 9th, Kim Young-ok and her manager went to a cafe. After ordering, the manager took the elevator, while Kim Young-ok took the stairs to the third floor. Kim Young-ok revealed, "I walk about three floors," and added, "I exercise regularly to maintain strong bones and live a long life." The manager arrived later, taking the elevator, than Kim Young-ok, who took the stairs, drawing laughter.

 

Kim Young-ok continued, "Even in my current apartment, I walk up to the 7th floor once or twice a week and then take the elevator." She added, "I not only climb the stairs, but I also do the tiptoe exercise while watching TV to maintain my bone health." Let's learn about the benefits of "stair climbing" and "tiptoe exercise," the bone health secrets of Kim Young-ok, the oldest actress in the world.

◇Stair climbing helps prevent arthritis, but it's important not to overdo it.

 

Climbing stairs burns more energy than walking on level ground, increasing exercise effectiveness and improving cardiopulmonary function. It's also effective for building lower body muscles, including the thighs. This increases overall muscle mass, which can help prevent arthritis. Furthermore, climbing stairs increases basal metabolic rate and improves endurance and balance.

 

 

Another advantage is that it can be done anywhere, anytime, without requiring any special equipment, like walking. Climbing stairs should be done only until you sweat a little and are out of breath enough to have a conversation. If your thighs or calves hurt or you feel very short of breath, take a break. After resting, walk on flat ground for about 5 minutes before climbing again. If the elderly use the stairs, they must hold on to the handrail and be accompanied by a caregiver. If you have heart disease or anemia, it is better to avoid climbing stairs. Climbing stairs too hard when your heart function is low can be a strain on your heart. If you have anemia, you may experience sudden cardiac arrest while climbing stairs.

 

You may feel short of breath or mentally unstable. Anemia is a condition in which a lack of red blood cells in the body reduces oxygen supply. If fatigue persists while climbing stairs, you risk shortness of breath. Furthermore, mental unstableness can make you more prone to falls.

 

 

◇The crow's feet exercise is great for building calf muscles and preventing varicose veins.

 

The squat pose involves standing on tiptoe, keeping your back straight, and slowly raising and lowering your heels. Repeat this movement for about five seconds. Never let your heels touch the floor. This reduces the effectiveness of the exercise and actually causes shock to your muscles and bones.

 

The calf exercise is excellent for developing lower body muscles, especially the calf muscles. Strengthening the calf muscles prevents the enlargement of the leg veins, which can help prevent the worsening of varicose veins. The calf muscles are so important for cardiovascular health that they're often called the "second heart," playing a key role in blood circulation.

 

The calf muscles pump blood that flows down to the lower body. Veins are clustered around the calf muscles, and blood flow back to the heart through these veins is relatively weak. The calf muscles must contract and relax repeatedly to smoothly push blood back to the heart. Calf muscles are particularly effective in preventing varicose veins, which are lumpy, bulging veins in the legs.

This person's management is amazing.

They say that osteoporosis was completely cured in 6 months.

I had a fracture in my tailbone last year.
