Performing senior balance exercises on a consistent basis can help you stay safe and avoid a fall this Christmas season. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now You can prepare ahead of time for challenging holiday events like:

- Decorating a Christmas tree

 - Putting up lights outside the house

- Walking down narrow isles at the grandkids Christmas pageant

- Navigating the isle in a plane or church

 By rehearsing specific steadiness techniques and equilibrium routines, you can be ahead of the curve to enhance steadiness and stave off a potential fall that could send you to the Emergency Room at Christmas time. Since the holidays are a busy time of the year and folks are rushing around trying to get last minute shopping and holiday preparations done, it is essential to have the basics of good balance training down before you find yourself in a challenging situation.

Practice Senior Balance Exercises Every Day

since this winter has been full of cold and snowy conditions for many of us, performing senior Balance exercises before stepping outside on the icy sidewalk or driveway is imperative. additionally, my mom always says, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and that goes for preparing with equilibrium  exercises this Christmas season. To make sure that you do not fall and end up in the injuring yourself this Winter time, be sure to rehearse stability exercises before you begin reaching into the attic or crawl space to get out last year's decorations, putting up Christmas lights, hanging ornaments, stashing gifts under the tree, venturing out at night for a Christmas caroling sing-a-long and participating in the many more holiday activities that surround us. Whether you are on your tippy toes to reach up high to hang decorations  or bending down to stow a package under the tree, one of the most important equilibrium exercises is to learn is how to control your body weight as you move forwards and backward or side to side. most falls for seniors occur because they can not control their body weight and they end up falling forwards. you can practice a basic stability routine by first standing with your feet shoulder width apart and rocking in all directions, slowly and with good control. you can progress that routine by performing the exercise while standing on an unstable surface like a couch cushion or foam. you can practice these balance exercises before the holiday events start piling up by following along with the instruction of a knowledgeable physical therapist in the exercise for balance dvd.
