A strong lower body is essential for an energetic life. However, as we age, lower body muscles gradually diminish. If the lower body is weak, problems can arise in joints such as the knees and ankles, and it can also lead to various adult diseases. Recognize the symptoms that appear when lower body strength weakens quickly, and learn how to strengthen lower body muscles.

 

There are symptoms that appear when lower body muscles shrink. ▲Even when pulling up pants, the buttocks are loose ▲Sitting on a hard chair causes buttock pain ▲Prostate disease has developed ▲When walking in a straight line, I unconsciously stumble ▲The anal sphincter is weakened, causing urine leakage ▲Legs feel cold or numb ▲Lack of sexual desire for more than a month ▲Erection and ejaculation are difficult, and the amount of semen has decreased ▲Walking distance has reduced to less than one-third, etc.

If you experience symptoms like those described above, you should start diligently strengthening your lower body from now on. Squats are a representative exercise for lower body training. Squats are the most basic exercise among lower body workouts and are effective for developing muscles in the hips, thighs, and calves. When performing a squat, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees as much as possible, and push your hips back. At this time, the knee flexion angle should not exceed 90 degrees, and the knees should not extend beyond the toes.

 

If you are older or have less strength and find it difficult to maintain a standard squat posture, a wide squat with feet placed wider than shoulder-width is recommended. However, be cautious not to spread your legs excessively beyond twice the shoulder width, as this can put strain on the hip joints.

It is also good to combine aerobic exercise. In particular, cycling is a good exercise for strengthening the lower body muscles. During the pedaling process, the lower body muscles repeatedly contract and relax, thereby strengthening the muscles.

Muscles are important.

My husband, who has been exercising since he was young

The muscles don't seem to decrease easily.

 

I need to start managing things now as well...

I only talk about it every day.
