Suhasini Maniratnam, a 64-year-old Tamil actor, recently shared her diverse fitness routine, which now includes Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance form she began learning at 63. During an interview on the SecondSunrise podcast, she emphasized that her dance practice is for personal fulfillment rather than public performance. Experts, including Dr. Sarang Deshpande, an orthopedic consultant at KIMS Hospitals in Thane, support the notion that engaging in physical activities like dance is beneficial at any age. They highlight that while starting later in life requires caution, it can enhance physical health, mental well-being, and coordination. Dr. Deshpande advises that individuals should start gradually and under proper guidance to avoid the risk of injury, especially with demanding movements involved in Bharatanatyam, such as deep knee bends and intricate footwork. Proper warm-ups, cooling down, and strength training for core muscles are also recommended to support joint health and reduce stress during practice. Overall, the message is clear: it's never too late to embrace movement and improve one’s fitness.
