Practicing senior balance exercises is an important aspect of staying healthy for older individuals. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Recently, USA Today published an article that included the emphasis by senior citizens on staying healthy as indicated in a 2013 Aging Study. According to the 2013 survey of 4,000 older adults taken by the National Council On Aging, staying healthy and mobile through exercise is one of the top priorities of individuals over the age of sixty years old. When asked what’s most important to maintaining a high quality of life in their senior years,  taking care of their health was one of the three key factors. Specifically, nearly two-thirds (64%) of optimistic seniors have set one or more specific goals to manage their health in the past 12 months, compared with 47% of the overall senior population. Additionally, staying connected to friends and family was the top choice of 4 in 10 seniors. Furthermore, most seniors (71%) feel the community they live in is responsive to their needs, but less than half (49%) believe their community is doing enough to prepare for the future needs of the growing senior population.

Senior Balance Exercises Enhance Stability For Older Folks

One of the key ingredients to staying safe and living well as an older adult is to practice senior balance exercises to avoid the possibility of falling and sustaining a debilitating injury. For Senior Citizens, a fall can lead to the potential of a hip or wrist fracture that often leads to surgery, hospitalization and additional institutionalization. the best way to decrease the risk of falling is to rehearse equilibrium routines on a regular basis. one such stability exercise can include standing on one foot near a counter or table if assistance is needed by grabbing on to a stable object. standing on one foot enhances steadiness during a very important phase of walking when the individual must balance on one foot while the other foot swings through and prepares to receive ones body weight. this stability exercise and additional senior balance exercises can be practiced in the convenience of your own home by following along with an experienced physical therapist in the exercise for balance dvd.
