     Senior balance exercises are one of the main variables that help to improve balance and prevent falls among older individuals. Please see    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Scientists have been studying the genetic make up and environmental influences on folks over the age of one hundred and a new subset of participants-- the "wellderly". In his article, Stevan Hall writes about the group of subjects known as the "wellderly" who include people over the age of eighty who continue to be healthy, active, have no chronic diseases, no high blood pressure, no cardiovascular disease, no diabetes and no reliance on prescription medication. Rae Kline, an eighty-three year old woman, fits the model of the wellderly. Kline lives in California and was an early advocate of Yoga. She describes herself as a "perpetual motion machine" as she details her daily routine of swimming one mile, biking one hour and walking four miles on the beach.

Senior Balance Exercises For The Long Run

Senior balance exercises are an essential part of staying active and healthy in our later years. The benefits of performing stability exercises have been investigated by Rocee Holtzer, a neuropsychologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Holtzer has been studying the connection between brain function and mobility in the elderly. Through his studies, Holtzer has discovered that the amount of thinking people are able to accomplish, engaging the prefrontal part of the brain, while they walk and talk will help to predict the individuals risk for dementia, their loss of mobility and their increased risk of falling. holtzer's research reinforces other studies that have shown that adding cognitive tasks to equilibrium routines makes the exercise more difficult and a greater challenge to the person's balance. With these and other studies in mind, healthcare professionals, physical therapists and doctors highly recommend that their senior patients continue with balance exercises throughout their lives. Now, seniors can practice a daily balance routine in the comfort of their own home with the Exercise For Balance dvd.
