What is locomotive syndrome?

Locomotive syndrome (locomotor syndrome) is a condition in which the body's mobility functions such as "standing" and "walking" are impaired.
For example, do you have symptoms such as "back pain," "knee pain," or "difficulty walking up the stairs at the station"? Regardless of your age, you may already have locomotive syndrome.
Locomotive syndrome tends to progress without you noticing, so in order to avoid becoming bedridden or requiring care, it is important to take measures to prevent locomotive syndrome as early as possible.

For preventing locomotive syndrome

Bone and muscle mass begin to decrease from the age of 40. "Exercise" is very important for preventing locomo.
Specifically, the following two points are the main pillars.

• ① "Improving your sense of balance in your legs and hips"
• ② "Strength training"

These two points are explained in detail in the Shiseido Health Insurance original video "Loco Training" introduced later.
In addition, "daily meals" are closely related to maintaining bones and muscles.

Shiseido Health Insurance original video "Loco-Training" Must-see!

To help Shiseido Health Insurance members become more familiar with "Loco Training," we have created a video demonstrating Loco Training by two athletes with the cooperation of the Shiseido Running Club.
Please take a look and incorporate "Loco Training" into your daily life to ensure that you can always walk with healthy legs and hips.

① "Standing on one leg"

② "Squats"
