Lifting weights overhead can strain the rotator cuff — a group of shoulder muscles that weakens with age. This may cause shoulder impingement or tendon tears.
✅ Try this instead:
Lateral raises with light dumbbells or resistance bands
These strengthen shoulder muscles with a safer range of motion. Always keep your movements slow and controlled.
5. ❌ Running on Hard Surfaces
✅ Try this instead:
Brisk walking, swimming, or cycling
All three are joint-friendly, improve heart health, and support healthy weight. Swimming, in particular, is ideal because it offers resistance training with zero impact.
