Healthy ageing starts with the legs

- The clip is from my recent talk in Muscat, Oman for Marathi Mandal, urging people to help their ageing parents get more active. This is where they need most help because the wheel chair at the airport is not going to solve the problem of ageing. And active ageing is a priceless gift.
As we age, we lose muscle mass. We don’t have to get very old, the process starts as early as 30, as we begin losing 3-8% every 10 years. But the rate of decline gets even faster post 60.
Almost all the problems related to age - loss of confidence, memory, bladder control and even blood pressure, blood sugar regulation, poor recovery, etc., can be attributed to this phenomenon.
The good news though is that you can both arrest and reverse this to a large extent with strength training. The older you get, the more critical it gets to exercise. Start with atelast once a week of strength training exercises and keep up with your walks, yoga.

My mother is 67 years old and Nigerian, she goes to spinning classes every single Monday morning and she goes for jogging. Sometimes she even jumps down some stairs. She has no knee or leg problems. We even go hiking together in the mountains. Some people tell me they can’t even get their parents to do the same. I’m proud of her
Amazing 🎉
Really amazing 💖💖 God bless her 💕💕
I'm an exercise scientist and this is SPOT ON! I'm 57 and have been weight training since I was 14. Lower body strength is CRUCIAL! I would like to add that gluteal strength goes hand in hand with leg strength, and is so important in supporting the back.
Exactly Rujutaji. . Even I always see this diffrence n feel bad that indian parents r comfortable sitting in wheel chair. . And also when on airport seeing me in white hair holding my luggage n running towards gates people come n offer wheel chair. I smile n refuse. Staying fit was n still is my goal...not just being lean means fitness. . So many people open their eyes open when they see me touching my whole palm to the ground. I learn . .keep my mind open from where ever I can to maintain my fitness at 67... Let God keep me this way till my last .....❤
You are inspiring.. all the best..
So so so very happy to hear this.
Keep it going.
May God bless you

Hello mam...what exactly u do to maintain fitness ...is it yoga /aerobics/gym or combination of all??
When I was younger 20s to 40s I did power lifting and martial arts. This paid off later in my life in my 60s to 71. I learned a long time ago that your feet and legs are critical in standing, walking, running, hiking, and biking. And if you do not use these muscles they will atrophy and you will end up with knee, leg, and back pain, especially, if you had been athletic earlier in your life. I recently had severe right knee pain. After trying various knee exercises I got on my exercise bike for a couple of minutes. The immediate effect was most of the knee pain was gone and the next day even better. The biking also helped with cardiovascular; therefore, stamina. With any exercise start out slow then gradually increase your time doing it.
I am 58 years-old and, although I walk regularly outdoors and on the treadmill, I realized that my hamstring muscles in the back of my legs were not strong because I had trouble stooping down and getting back up. I have started using the leg machines at my gym to start exercising the different muscles in my legs. I like the exercise shown in this video so I will start doing it as well. Thank you for the great video!
Being a Malaysian and Chinese community are the 2 largest population in the country.
The Chinese give very very importance to physical and mental health.
They are the one busy doing yoga, meditation and breathing exercises along with the physical activities.
We Indians are busy complaining about everything and do nothing.
That is why the Chinese community are Fit even though they age.
They are very very consistent with their exercises, healthy eating habits and hard work.
We Indians must learn this from them .
They learn all the good and best stuffs from the other community members and make it as theirs.
We Indians learn all the rotten ones from others and destroy ourselves.
True
I totally agree with you!
@thezoldics7648
Hmm Indians have mentality problem unlike Chinese community they are Profit based community for them Religion is personal and nothing to do with the Race alot of Chinese Christians become yoga teachers and alot of Chinese Christians practice yoga for them why bother about Religion???
This Yoga is benefitting me for my Mental health and wellness so why not Do it!!!!
But Indians hmm no no only Religion is the most important thing Yoga originated from The Hindu Teachings so don't Practice it as It's Hinduism.
But for Chinese it's all about Profit.
That is why they Are united as one Race not Divided like the Indians.
A lesson that Indians must learn from the Chinese community.
As a Malaysian I agree with you, Chinese people are so disciplined with hygiene and healthcare.
probably would be easier if you consume less sugar and weight to keep fit because you are lighter in weight hence easier to walk longer distances
Wow! The insight of this lady talking and showing keen examples of leg strength. We need you here in America!!
🔥 This is true. Loss of mobility directly can affect your longevity
I’m 63 and vegan for 8 years. I was a caregiver for my elderly parents and my grandmother for 17 years. I watched what the Standard American Diet full of animal products did to them. None were overweight. But all suffered from high blood pressure due to clogged arteries (arteriosclerosis). They also suffered with age-related arthritis and osteoporosis. I think that as we age, clogged arteries and poor circulation are major causes of weakness in the extremities. My mother needed knee replacements (but never got them). My grandmother kept falling from TIAs. My father had a leg bypass in his 60s. All of them passed from a form of heart disease (strokes, congestive heart failure). To date, I take no medications. I am able to climb stairs and ladders. I walk my dogs. I garden, etc. I believe changing my diet has helped me to be healthier and stronger than my relatives when they were my age.
So beautifully put up,and so so true about we being functional to be Happier Rujuta 😍👏👏🙏🙏.
Many many thanks mam for such beautiful secret about aging because I am going to be 60 after three years.
😊 You made fitness interesting with your words ❤.
Mam I am a big fan of yours. I am 46 years old female. I just want to say that really love you. Thanks mam
Thank you so much mam for this advise. I am 50, but I am walking like you showed, that means my legs are weak and unable to perform your 3 exercises for legs strength. Started practising them. Thank you so much.
Important point to be noted n dealt with by every one.
Thank you
God bless you always
Hahaha 🤣 Rujuta trust you to make such an important point in such a light hearted manner. Point taken. ❤
Namaste Rujuta Ji 🙏🏻
Thank you for your discussion 🙏🏻
U rock Rujuta ji,..bhagwan aapko lambi ummrr dein...
thanx so much for posting this superb video 👏👏
very useful & informative message👍👍
this happens to most of the elderly people , more so with women 😭
Wow! What strength in your legs!!! Wishing I have the same… 😅
Thanks g,plz tell how to strengthen the legs👏
Thank you so much for this inspiring information presented so simply. Now I'll make my mother walk regularly.
This is amazing, l am struggling with my legs worse since menopause but trying to do strength excercisrs❤❤
This is so true at multiple levels. Due to excessive use of technology and fashion statement providing products and stuff, we ignore our legs and their health so much along with ignoring our roots & foundations (like legs) that we have started thinking that we can float around in air without legs & strong foundation.
I can see the example daily when I wear bearfoot style shoes (VFF) for healthreasons, people who are wearing fashionable heels complain about lack of cushioning and uglyness of VFF, while forgetting that they are wearing cushionless heels damaging their knees.
So true... Great energy. Like you.
Thank you so much Ma'am🙏 I m 60 yrs now my right leg pains very bad. Thanks
Thanks mam for your continued guidance 🙏
Pls share. More videos like dis!!! Dey r informative n very mindful😊
I totally agree with what she said but i have seen many who are absolutely healthy but not comfortable with the language also book wheelchair for foreign travel.
Thanks for video. Please share knowledge about taking care of memory and brain for senior citizens.
‘Lion’s Mane’ (mushroom capsules) helps keep dementia away and in most cases even CURES dementia. Ginkgo helps keep memory strong too, but especially Lion’s Mane.
Please look up the info if you don’t believe me. I learned this all in science class in college recently. Also what I learned in that class was Cordaceps (another mushroom in capsules), shrinks tumors, cancers, cysts…I had a tumor size of a egg and after taking Cordaceps daily, it shrunk my tumor down to almost nothing.
Very good advice. THANK YOU😊
I really Love Rujuta. She has an amazing Charisma!
Simply superb...

Thank God, I tried it and can do it easily
She is looking fabulous in saree ,bindi ang jewelry
❤❤❤ chechi.good trainer.and teacher..exlend health y class.. grate job.❤❤
Very informative video, thanks... I think one of the reasons for our bad legs could be our flooring... Indian houses nowadays has stone based floors.... Something our engineering minds should come up with to make our legs fit
Nothing. Floor is fine. I am using floor to sit. Yet I walk every evening after returning from work for atleast 3 km brisk walk daily except on Sundays. One of my neighbour lady sits whole day n watch TV Saas Bahu serials n hardly walk. She got hip replacement surgery n her knees are weak from lack of mobility and movements for past 9 years. Aged only 50+. Now she is walking daily atleast 1 km to keep herself fit in a painful way n shift weight left to right slowly. My mom is 75 n still fit even walking briskly.
I see every women 50+ above during morning or evening walks are weak walking like a duck probably due to lack of movements n knees need mobility of joints otherwise think it will rust. God gave us legs to move n not for laziness purpose.
Thanks Rujuta tai. Good health tips.
Wow, superb lecture.
I am 68 years jain and still coaching tabletennis for one/two hours daily. for strong legs. I am seeing you since 20 years, looking fantastic in saree
Very good information shared 😊
Exactly.... maam.totally agree with you. Let us have a regular session online to strengthen our core muscles, especially the legs. Can you do it?🎉😂
Hey it's great and superb.
Very useful 👍❤🙏
I fell on my back and broke the left transverse processes from L1-L4 in my bathtub. A year later, I was trying to walk back to my apartment, and my back gave out, and I fell backward, hitting my head on the concrete. I wound up having vertigo and aggravating my injuries. I doubt I'll ever be completely cured of my injuries. I ran marathons in the 1990s. I eventually stopped doing that. So keep up your exercises!
Thnx for simplification in explaining
Do make a video on leg strength or other excerises of senior who cant do anywork by themselves ( i mean left side paralyzed, but can walk baby steps) and please make video on leg excerises for young people also.
Thank you Ma'am
Ur videos r learning ❤
amazing. very insightful.
She is brilliant
Thank you maam.
Nice Exercise n Guidance.
Many Indian parents take to wheelchair due to language problems and to avoid other travel procedures at airports. They get up and walk happily once they see their family members at airports!
It’s also true that knee pain and joints pain are common problems with many.
She's looking so beautiful ❤
Nice video
Thanks a lot!
Very well explained
Thank you for sharing. I shared your video with my friends. Great. Show us a few exercises for legs. Will appreciate. .🙏🖕
Wow, I can sit but can't standup like this 😊Nice test for fitness
Thank you ma'am
Superb ❤
Rujuta at her best ...
As always
Here's a tip for those that wear socks, always put them on stood up. You'll love longer and better
Was impressed by your demonstration rutuja जी
But how to get that leg strength at 60 or 70 ?
Aapne bilkul sahi kaha.
Lekin iske liye upaay kya karein..? Ye bhi batayein please.
57 year old half marathon runner. Won prizes in my age category. I run only twice or thrice a week to give rest to my legs. I think I must be having strong legs for my age 😀
Ultimate again
She is absolutely right! That exercise she did was spot on. Yoga and TRX are wonderful effective low impact exercises to strengthen the legs especially for middle age and older adults. ❤
I always know this. I am a social person and I love to go out. To make it a habit, I made it easier, I give away my sofa and sit on the floor on a mattress!
I don’t want to walk wobbly at all!
Now days hand workout getting very less by household
Machines can be affecting them, ❤love your voice note comments❤❤❤Hopefully ladies will be❤, and fine listen Yr tips great job ❤keep going
Men also stopped doing hardwork. They were doing farming and hunting. 😢 Poor men❤
I could do🎉 yay!!😊
Very nice👌👏👏🙏🏻
I liked that. I wish to follow you. Thanks
good information dear
Excellent information ℹ️ Rujuta ji 💐. We need to be Functional+ Fit along with a big Dose of Happiness 😊.

Vdo 👌🙏🍫👍🌹🥳
छान👍👍👍👍👌👌
किती छान
Ultimate
मराठीत सांगितला मस्त❤
Great to see Rujuta mam speak in her mother tongue Marathi. All non hindi people should do this more on public and national stage so that our native languages across India are promoted and those living in small towns and rural parts don't feel alienated in their own home states and regions.
Ever since 1947 all the media and functions have been made to use only english and hindi as if our own true identity and languages don't matter.
Hope more celebs and politicians across Maharashtra learn from this.
Your comment could've been in your mother tongue too, couldn't it?🙂
@vidyaarvind4458 yes of course but what to do the software’s on most systems are not optimised for all Indian languages still.
It’s mostly given for English and hindi as govt wants to promote only 1 language across India with no regards for true native languages of the nation.
@@abhishekchandrappa5384 marathi uses the devanagri script I guess. And it is possible to type in devanagri script in most phones since the last few years. Many are also able to type in various indian languages using their respective scripts.
@vidyaarvind4458 my mother tongue isn’t marathi and you should also know most older devices don’t have keyboards optimised for all languages. Also if u see the translation services they don’t work most of the time bcoz all our native languages have been ignored at national level by all sides.
Also finally Marathis original script was modi style which was replaced by devanagri in the name of nationalism and religion. Now marathi has become second status or lesser in mumabi, Pune and other major urban centre’s in the state.
@@abhishekchandrappa5384 lol! Looks like you have a prehistoric device and are also still living in those times. Devanagri has been used for marathi since decades now.
