Strength Training Key to Healthy Aging, Says Eden Health Club's Felicia Hernandez
Personal trainer Felicia Hernandez from Eden Health Club emphasizes the importance of strength training for healthy aging. She recommends simple, bodyweight exercises like squats and glute bridges to improve mobility, protect joints, and maintain independence.
Hernandez suggests bodyweight squats to build leg and core strength, enhance balance, and reduce fall risk. This exercise, along with glute bridges, strengthens hips and the core, protecting the lower back and improving overall mobility. These benefits counter the effects of prolonged sitting and support healthy aging.
She also advocates for incline push-ups, performed on a raised surface, to support posture and bone health. This variation makes the exercise more accessible for beginners, helping them build strength and make daily tasks easier.
