"SEC-s20w4: Fitness Training 👉 strengthening the muscles at the buttocks and hips region"

I am here to take part in "SEC-s20w4: Fitness Training week-4 of strengthening the muscles at the buttocks and hips region. I know I should not compete with the younger lot of Steemians but the sportsman sitting within me, my daily workouts even if light, and my walking and jogging forces me to join this contest by @genomil and @ngoenyi.

👉 Carry out warmups.

I do stepping for warmup, which has been my habit since I used to play cricket and badminton at a higher level. When I say stepping that means I used to step up and step down forward and backward for at least 30 minutes continuously but now the duration is reduced to 3-5 minutes but my warmup program is limited to jogging at slow speed between my long walks.

👉 Carry out cardio programs. You may choose from the week #1 programs. Increase in your repetitions or minutes compared to the ones you did in the past and let us know what you did of and how many times.

Yes, that's part of my workouts which I have shown you in my week one post so I am posting the same video to give you an idea to show you what I do and how I do it.

👉 Carry out the buttocks and hips exercises programs listed above following the repetitions below. Just choose 3 out of the 6 programs that have been demonstrated for you there. Make your choice.

Here are my three buttocks and hips exercise programs, although these used to be too easy for me, but then there comes a time when your physiologist or trainer refrains you. I can do these perfectly, but I will do it in the beginners' category to save myself from going overboard.

👉 Carry out stretches to conclude each of your exercise day. (Video is not necessary)

Stretching is necessary after exercising our buttocks, but everything should be done in a planned manner and according to the age. I am emphasizingsing age because I am older than your wildest imagination.

I usually do "Shavasana" to stretch my glutes, which is very simple and requires lying down like a dead body for some time. But one should keep in mind that while doing the stretches, one needs to maintain steady, controlled breathing.

I sit on the floor, cross my one ankle over the other side's thigh, and press lightly down on my knee until I start feeling a kind of stretching sensation in my glutes. And then do the opposite.

I hold this process for 20–30 seconds and then repeat it as long as I feel comfortable or overstressed.

I avoid jumping too high or overstretching to avoid further injury. While inhaling, I stretch my body as much as I can, and while exhaling, I stretch my body as little as possible. This is my method.

As far as keeping hydrated is concerned, I always carry my water bottle with me but I drink water at least 30 minutes before commencing my workouts and never drink water before my warm-down process is completed. For sure, if I am alive and kicking at my age, I follow the rule of a healthy diet.

You have said it all.

There are so many programs that can help to strengthen these muscles at the buttocks and hips region.

Dead Lifts

For me, all these are simple, or so I feel, but I don't want to live in the world of fantasy because, at my age, I know my limit, but if you had asked me to do this a couple of decades ago when I used to spend 3-4 hours a day in a gym, stadium, or badminton hall, that was different.

Single leg deadlift,

I will try to demonstrate all you have asked for but within my limitations, for instance.

Jump squats, or deadlift

👉Tell us your overall feelings and ask your questions concerning the programs.

My overall feeling is that when I see such programs, I am lucky in the sense that I have lived all my life opposite parks and/or close to stadiums exercising and playing games, so I can't help but try what I am not supposed to do at my age.

I have no questions about the programs you are running here, but I have a personal question. Do you think that an exercise that is good for one person is good for all, or should one consult his physio or trainer before commencing them? Thank you.

I would like to invite @patjewell @jyoti-thelight and @weisser-rabe to vouch for my statement and show their skills at exercising because I know at least two of them are perfect fitness freaks and all three of them know my real age.

Sort:  

You do honour to your age!

To answer your question: I think that there are basic exercises that everyone can use for themselves. But not absolutely everything is recommended for everyone. I did intensive back training for a while after I had a slipped disc quite young. There I learnt that many of the recommended exercises would even have been harmful for me because they would have driven me from an actually good and upright posture into a bad hollow back.

I also know that my legs are good - my muscles are much younger and fitter than the rest of me thanks to running, climbing and riding ;-)) But my arms can't do anything except hang around... So I always need targeted training to build them up. And so on.

That's what is my problem too. A couple of exercises have nothing to do with age but they all depend on one's physical fitness and illnesses. I still feel I can do a lot more than this but my physio refrains me from doing that. Thanks for your presence on this post.

Hi! Good to see you training another week in the course :D, woow you have a lot of strength due to all your active years as an athlete, age is not an impediment to continue keeping in shape💪 to me it was a little complicated to do the exercises indicated this week as I don't usually do them and I lost my balance.

Have a nice day!

Thanks yes, even I was on the verge of loosing balance at certain points because these are not my regular workouts but I did them for the sake of this post.

Well done, my friend!
I take my hat off to you. I'm afraid I am not as delegant as you when it comes to exercising. These days I wonder how I am going to get off the floor once I am on it. (•ิ‿•ิ)
So that means that I am not falling under the two that are "perfect fitness freaks."
Yes, I know your age, and therefore the more reason for me to vote for you as a winner. ✔

Best wishes!

Actually, I am so into exercising being a format athlete that when I see something related to it I can't stop myself. But I am thinking in terms of not posting anymore in this niche because it seems to be out of my reach. Thanks for your kind presence on my humble effort.

You are doing a great job!!!! 🤛
I won't even try.

Haha, I am closing the chapter at this point.

Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.

More power to you, as I get older it gets harder to just get up and down off the ground. Good job on this!

That's right @philhughes, the older we get the brain stops sending signals to those particular cells responsible. And to make things worse Steemit has ruined some of us because this site is too adictive 👍
