Soha Ali Khan is far ahead in terms of fitness. Even at the age of 45, her body is very lean and flexible. Soha Ali often says that she cannot compromise with fitness, it is her hobby. Recently Soha has given a mobility challenge to her fans. Which big fitness experts could not do. You too must try this fitness challenge. In this challenge, the ability of the participants to sit on the ground and stand back up without using hands was tested.
Talking about staying active with increasing age, Soha Ali Khan has written that if you find it difficult at the age of 45, then imagine how difficult it can be at the age of 75. Talking about her experience, Soha said, ‘We tried this fun mobility challenge in the gym and the results were quite surprising. Some people were successful in doing it, while many people found it difficult to complete even this simple movement. This challenge may seem simple, but it shows how strength, balance, flexibility and coordination help us perform everyday movements with ease.
Soha Ali Khan’s mobility challenge
Soha has written that one thing worth thinking about is how often we actually train our body to perform the movements required in everyday life. This challenge involves sitting on the ground and standing back up without the support of hands. Not everyone can do it easily. Describing the physical abilities involved in this simple movement, Soha said, sitting on the floor and getting back up without using hands may seem like a small thing, but it involves a combination of hip mobility, lower-body strength, balance, flexibility and coordination. Which is an excellent exercise for the body.
These abilities are essential for daily activities such as sitting and getting up from the floor, bending, climbing stairs, and maintaining stability while walking. As we age, some physical abilities may gradually decline unless we actively work to maintain them. Decreased mobility, muscle strength, and balance can make normal movements more difficult over time.
Why is functional fitness important as we age?
Soha also talked about how important it is to maintain these abilities as we age, writing, “As we age, if we don’t actively work to maintain them, we can no longer do some of these things naturally.” Then even simple everyday tasks begin to seem difficult.
Just weight training and building muscles is not enough
Soha has written that the purpose of fitness should not be just about lifting heavy weights, building big muscles or looking a certain way. Your goal should also be to maintain your independence, confidence, and ability to walk alone as you age.
