  1. 0:01If you wake up in the morning feeling
  2. 0:03like your batteries are already flat,
  3. 0:05you struggle to climb two flights of
  4. 0:07stairs and you realize that your body
  5. 0:09responds with exasperating slowness:
  6. 0:11you've been lied to. They told you that
  7. 0:15it's old age and that it's normal to
  8. 0:17feel tired after 50-60 years and that
  9. 0:19the only thing you can do is resign
  10. 0:21yourself to it. No, no, it's not normal
  11. 0:24, but it's a convenient lie. The
  12. 0:27scientific truth is different. Muscles
  13. 0:29aren't old, they're just drained.
  14. 0:32Within the muscle fibers themselves,
  15. 0:34there exist small power plants which
  16. 0:36are known as mitochondria. Their sole
  17. 0:38purpose is to take the oxygen and food
  18. 0:40you eat and transform them into energy
  19. 0:43and movement. Between the ages of 40
  20. 0:46and 70, a sedentary person loses up to
  21. 0:4840%of the capacity of these power
  22. 0:50plants. But your body's engine hasn't
  23. 0:53broken down. It simply has dirty spark
  24. 0:57plugs and half of its cylinders are
  25. 0:59deactivated. Today I'll show you
  26. 1:02exactly how to reactivate these
  27. 1:04powerhouses and finally feel fit and
  28. 1:06toned like you haven't felt in years.
  29. 1:10We'll do this with a biomechanical
  30. 1:12protocol specifically designed for
  31. 1:14people aged 50-60 and over. All you
  32. 1:17need is a few targeted minutes a day,
  33. 1:19without necessarily having to go to the
  34. 1:21gym and without using equipment. The
  35. 1:24typical reaction of those who lose
  36. 1:26strength is always the same. Either
  37. 1:29they start going for extremely long
  38. 1:31walks that require minimal effort or,
  39. 1:33conversely, they sign up for a gym,
  40. 1:36start lifting excessive weights and end
  41. 1:38up locking their back after just three
  42. 1:40days. Both of these approaches fail,
  43. 1:44but the problem is neither that of
  44. 1:45walking nor that of lifting weights. In
  45. 1:49fact, walking is great for the
  46. 1:51cardiovascular system, but it doesn't
  47. 1:53generate enough biomechanical tension
  48. 1:56to create mitochondrial biogenesis, or
  49. 1:59the formation of new mitochondria
  50. 2:01inside your muscle bands. On the other
  51. 2:05hand, weightlifting is also absolutely
  52. 2:08healthy and brings tangible results,
  53. 2:10but for a person who has never done
  54. 2:12anything, those extra pounds can
  55. 2:14jeopardize the joints and cartilage
  56. 2:17health. Today, the science of longevity
  57. 2:20shows us a different path: the
  58. 2:23selective recruitment of fast-twitch
  59. 2:25fibers through low-impact isometrics
  60. 2:28and controlled muscle contractions.
  61. 2:31What does this phrase mean in practical
  62. 2:33terms? I'll show you right away with
  63. 2:35some practical exercises that you can
  64. 2:37put into practice today. This landmark
  65. 2:41clinical study published in Cell
  66. 2:43Metabolism has demonstrated how
  67. 2:46low-impact isometric exercises are
  68. 2:48capable of reversing the decline of
  69. 2:50muscle mass in people over 65 and
  70. 2:53bringing them back to the levels of
  71. 2:55younger people. In my daily work at
  72. 2:59Almafisio with real patients, we always
  73. 3:01apply a specific protocol of controlled
  74. 3:03mechanical tension. When you activate a
  75. 3:07muscle without moving the entire body,
  76. 3:10and thus through a sustained position,
  77. 3:12you recruit all the muscle fibers,
  78. 3:14including the fast-twitch ones, while
  79. 3:17at the same time safeguarding 100%of
  80. 3:19your tendons, your joints, and your
  81. 3:21delicate cartilage. That's why many
  82. 3:25personal trainers in the gym don't know
  83. 3:27this approach. Here's the exact
  84. 3:30sequence of the three main global
  85. 3:32exercises that I have all my patients
  86. 3:34do after a certain age and that you can
  87. 3:36do in your living room today. The first
  88. 3:39is the isometric chair. Stand behind a
  89. 3:43chair and place both hands on the back.
  90. 3:46Slowly lean back as if you were going
  91. 3:49to sit on another chair behind you.
  92. 3:52Bend down until your butt almost
  93. 3:54touches the seat of the chair and stay
  94. 3:57in this position for at least 30 to 45
  95. 4:00seconds. Hold this position with your
  96. 4:03knees and then slowly lift your heels
  97. 4:05off the floor, placing your weight on
  98. 4:07your toes. Stay like this and breathe
  99. 4:10deeply through your nose. You'll see
  100. 4:13that after just a few seconds, all of
  101. 4:15your leg muscles will start to feel
  102. 4:17tired. You might feel your legs shaking
  103. 4:20, you might also experience some pain
  104. 4:22or a sense of fatigue. Don't be alarmed
  105. 4:25though, because you're in a static
  106. 4:27position, you're not moving anything,
  107. 4:30there are no sudden movements and
  108. 4:33therefore your skeletal, muscular and
  109. 4:36tendon structure is absolutely safe.
  110. 4:40With a single movement, we are
  111. 4:42activating the calf, thigh, and glute
  112. 4:44muscles, so basically all the main
  113. 4:47muscle groups of the legs, which are
  114. 4:49also those that have a greater impact
  115. 4:52on glucose levels and cardiovascular
  116. 4:54health, without putting cartilage and
  117. 4:56joints at risk. The second exercise is
  118. 5:00the plank. You can perform this either
  119. 5:03by lying on your stomach or
  120. 5:04alternatively by leaning on a table or
  121. 5:06desk with both hands, while keeping
  122. 5:08your body tilted at a 45 ° angle. If
  123. 5:13you do it on your stomach, rest your
  124. 5:15elbows on the floor, place your toes on
  125. 5:17your feet, and lift your body off the
  126. 5:19floor to form a straight line as if it
  127. 5:21were a parallel axis to the floor.
  128. 5:24Always hold this position for 30 to 45
  129. 5:27seconds, avoiding arching your back.
  130. 5:31Again, listen to how your body responds
  131. 5:33. Some people start to shake, others
  132. 5:36start to feel fatigue in all their
  133. 5:38muscles, and still others experience
  134. 5:40some back pain. But do not worry once
  135. 5:43again, because your back remains still
  136. 5:46and you are not causing any damage at
  137. 5:48all. Pain does not mean damage, but
  138. 5:51instead you are training those muscles
  139. 5:53that will strengthen you and improve
  140. 5:55your mitochondrial health. The third
  141. 5:58exercise, still lying on your stomach,
  142. 6:00either on the floor or on the bed,
  143. 6:02raise your arms up and push them back
  144. 6:04towards the ceiling, also lifting your
  145. 6:07feet and contracting your glutes. As
  146. 6:10you will immediately feel, all the
  147. 6:12muscles in the back of your spine
  148. 6:14contract, and this is the most
  149. 6:16effective way to retrain those postural
  150. 6:18muscles that will also improve your
  151. 6:20kyphosis, making you appear
  152. 6:21significantly taller and healthier than
  153. 6:23you are today. These three exercises
  154. 6:27not only have an immediate impact on
  155. 6:29your daily abilities, but they also
  156. 6:31have an impact on your longevity. Clear
  157. 6:35studies have shown that people who can
  158. 6:37lift themselves from a chair without
  159. 6:39the help of their hands have a longer
  160. 6:41life expectancy than those who need
  161. 6:43their hands to get up. And other
  162. 6:47studies have demonstrated that those
  163. 6:49who possess sufficient hand grip
  164. 6:50strength have a longer life expectancy
  165. 6:52compared to those who, conversely, have
  166. 6:54a much weaker grip. So let's move from
  167. 6:57science to direct practice. On the one
  168. 7:01hand, understanding what a person needs
  169. 7:03to stay healthy, and on the other,
  170. 7:05taking immediate action to bring that
  171. 7:07person real and tangible benefits. Now,
  172. 7:11if you want to have all the
  173. 7:13step-by-step instructions to do the
  174. 7:14first exercise, the chair exercise,
  175. 7:16which you can do comfortably at home
  176. 7:18and which trains all your legs, I have
  177. 7:20already made a dedicated video where I
  178. 7:22show you all the details to do it in
  179. 7:24the best way. You can find this video
  180. 7:27by clicking here above. However, there
  181. 7:29is one thing I must emphasize before
  182. 7:31you start this journey. Knowing what to
  183. 7:34do is of little use if you do not first
  184. 7:36measure your starting point. If you do
  185. 7:40not measure your state of health and
  186. 7:42the strength of your muscles today, you
  187. 7:43could continue to do exercises, or not
  188. 7:45do them, without knowing whether you
  189. 7:47are improving or getting worse. The
  190. 7:50tragedy, however, is that most people
  191. 7:53only start taking action after they
  192. 7:55have fallen or injured themselves. So I
  193. 7:58decided to do something for you. I took
  194. 8:01the three clearest and simplest tests
  195. 8:03that we do at Almafisio on all our
  196. 8:05patients to measure your biological and
  197. 8:07muscular age. I took them and put them
  198. 8:11all in a simple PDF that you can
  199. 8:13download by clicking on the link below.
  200. 8:16All you need is a chair, a stopwatch,
  201. 8:18and 2 minutes of your time. The guide
  202. 8:22is completely free, you can find it
  203. 8:24below, download it now and take the
  204. 8:26tests to discover your starting point
  205. 8:28and your biological muscle age. You can
  206. 8:32then begin an effective rehabilitation
  207. 8:34program, so that in a few weeks or
  208. 8:36months you can repeat the test again
  209. 8:37and fully enjoy all the results.
