For more information on IT band syndrome, please visit https://cle.clinic/3iA7adS

Iliotibial band, or IT band, syndrome is a common overuse injury that sidelines even the hardiest endurance athletes. The pain it brings can turn simple steps into an achy shuffle.

Targeted stretching and exercises can help ease or even prevent IT band syndrome by improving your flexibility and strengthening key muscles. The belt/strap IT band stretch is a stretch that can help keep IT band issues at bay.

Lie on your back. Loop a belt or strap around your right foot. Lift your right leg up straight before bringing it across your body (to the left) while keeping your hips flat. You should feel a gentle stretch along your right outer thigh. Hold for 30 seconds.

Do the same with the opposite foot. Repeat five times.

Add these additional IT band stretches to your routine.

These exercises for seniors over 60 include chair exercises that build muscle and increase strength.

Strength training is important to build muscle and increase bone density for seniors to prevent falls, the number cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. Strength training also provides many benefits for individuals with prediabetes, including improved blood sugar control, enhanced insulin response, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, weight management, and overall health improvements.

The American Diabetes Association also recommends strength training for people with type 2 diabetes to help with blood sugar control. Additionally, studies show that strength training is as effective as aerobic exercise at boosting how well the body uses insulin.

Strength workouts build muscle and help the body become more efficient at transporting glucose from the bloodstream to muscles. After exercising, muscles will continue to use glucose and blood sugar may be lower for several hours.

Aim for two strength sessions a week covering all muscle groups with at least two days of rest in between. For optimal health, this should accompany 150 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per week, such as walking.
