For those who are finding it hard to exercise at home, time to seek some fitness inspiration from the Mulk actor.
Here’s how exercising at home is beneficial, especially for senior citizens
Helps maintain or lose weight
Maintaining a healthy weight is important as metabolism is known to slow down with age. Exercises like yoga can help burn calories and also increase metabolism.
Reduces the impact of chronic illnesses
People with chronic lifestyle issues like diabetes, heart diseases and bone-related ailments need to exercise so that there is improvement in the immune system and digestive functioning.
Improves balance
A common issue senior citizens face is lack of stability in movements as they age. Regular exercising is known to improve strength, flexibility and coordination which reduces the risk of falls.

Boosts mood
Regular physical activity even at home can be a huge stress reliever that helps reduce feelings of anxiety, and feel more confident.
