Balance exercises are a good starting point for an overall fitness program for folks who are over sixty years old or for individuals with medical conditions including diabetes, Back Pain, Arthritis, Cancer or many other medical issues. Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Stability exercises are the perfect building block to develop the necessary stability before adding on other fitness components like a walking program, weight lifting, pool exercises, yoga, Pilates or whatever matches your fitness regime. In particular, cancer patients can have significant benefits from a balance exercise routine and subsequent cardiovascular and strength training.

Balance Exercises For Those Recovering From Cancer Treatments

Balance exercises are an excellent first step to initiating a fitness program for those recovering from Cancer treatments. Recently, the Journal of National Cancer Institute reported on recent research that concluded, " Few other leads have shown as much promise as physical activity in extending the lives of cancer survivors." An excellent example of the benefits of exercise have recently been demonstrated by Iram Leon. Mr Leon was diagnosed with an inoperable, cancerous brain tumor. A short time ago, Mr Leon had to quit his job because of his declining cognitive skills. The cancer, however, has not stopped his running. Iram Leon won the Gusher Marathon in 3:07:35. Even more amazing, he was pushing his daughter in the stroller during the marathon. Mr Leon exemplifies the new theme of the American Cancer Society and other medical groups who now recommend physical activity for their patients. The idea is to start where you are. Begin with standing balance exercises to develop good stability and safety. Progress to walking equilibrium exercises, to promote steadiness with walking on various terrain. Next, add in light weight lifting routines and a walking program that boosts both mood, mental status, cardiovascular efficiency, leg strength and a host of other benefits. You learn which balance exercises to do and how to progress your balance step by step with the balance routine developed by an expert Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
