Three Key Exercises for a Long, Healthy Life: Insights from a Personal Trainer Backed by Science
A leading personal trainer has pinpointed three strength-building exercises—goblet squats, reverse lunges, and planks—as foundational moves that could significantly enhance longevity and well-being. These recommendations arrive at a time when Thais of all ages, particularly those approaching retirement, are increasingly seeking evidence-based strategies to maintain health and independence well into their later years (Fit&Well).
As populations around the globe age, Thailand faces its own rapidly greying demographic, with recent government statistics projecting over a quarter of Thais will be 60 or older by 2040 (World Bank). This has sparked widespread interest in not only living longer but living better—a goal that hinges on maintaining strength, balance, and mobility. Against this backdrop, the latest exercise insights carry special relevance for Thai society, where extended family care and independent living are evolving side by side.
