Try putting on your socks and shoes while balancing on one leg—all without ever touching the ground. It sounds easy, but if you wobble or lose balance, it could be a sign that your mobility and flexibility need work. In a new video, Jeff Cavaliere, C.S.C.S., shared five exercises to help you improve these key skills, ensuring you stay strong and stable as you age. Cavaliere is a trainer and former head physical therapist for the New York Mets. Through his Athlean-X platform, he shares advice on building strength, improving mobility, and preventing injuries. The socks and shoes balance test, coined as the "old man test," is one that only 14 percent of people over the age of 40 can successfully complete. Cavaliere says if you can pass the test, you're in a good starting place. If not, he suggests working on five key exercises: single-leg RDLs, squat and reach, sumo stance, pushup to superman, and the Jane Fonda leg hold. https://lnkd.in/gvtfEdxv #menshealth #exercises #abs #physicalfitness #strengthening #muscles #weightlifting #weighttraining #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapists #physicalhealth #healthcare #healthandwellness #healthandwellbeing
