  Performing step by step balance exercises and strength exercises can be done in the convenience of your own home, especially when the weather limits access to getting outside safely. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now The last few months of this Winter have been filled with weekly snow storms that have brought enormous amounts of snow and ice as well as record cold temperatures. Many of the states throughout the Midwest, Northeast and East Coast have experienced a brutal Winter that has caused traffic pile ups, business and school closures, airport delays and significant limitations for folks to be outdoors or travel in any sort of transportation.  As an example, the number of days with subzero temperatures has reached record or near-record levels for many Midwest cities this winter.  Several cities in North Dakota and Minnesota will log day 70 of subzero temperatures on Friday February 28, 2014. Additionally, places in Michigan are reporting several feet of snow from the storms this Winter. The next storm to blast the country, named Titan, promises to bring Winter weather all the way from the West Coast to New England. All this blustery Winter weather has made it next to impossible for the average citizen to get outside and exercise. Thankfully, there is an excellent tool that contains both balance exercises and strength exercises, which can be performed in the comfort of your own home.

Balance Exercises You Can Do At Home

     Practicing balance exercises on a regular basis can help both improve steadiness and keep you active, even through the long winter months. Medical researchers suggest that individuals perform a combination of both balance exercises and strength exercises to maximize their steadiness and reach goals of safely performing a fitness program. Equilibrium routines that are initiated at home should start by standing near a counter, table or stable object in case you need to grab on and steady yourself. One excellent beginning stability exercise involves standing on one foot and centering your weight over the middle of the arch. This exercise is essential to perform for safe walking, since standing on one foot is half of the walking phase we all use. this steadiness routine as well as a step by step progression of balance exercises and appropriate strength exercises are illustrated  and explained by a knowledgeable physical therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD. You can follow along with this balance and strength DVD in the comfort of your own home while you are waiting for Winter to thaw.
