A daily dose of senior balance exercises is a great way for older individuals to enhance steadiness and prevent falling. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Unfortunately, all of us follow a common pattern of aging that affects our stability with all movement activities as we age. For instance, as we  progress in years, we experience a decline in several of the major systems that influence balance. Those systems include:

- decreased vision

- slower inner ear messages from the vestibular system to the appropriate region in the brain that corresponds to balance

- weaker lower leg muscle strength

- slower balance reactions at the ankles and feet

- increased stiffness at the ankles

- poor posture and weak trunk muscles

Typically, most older adults see a decline in these systems and components as early as sixty years old. As a result, it is imperative to start rehearsing senior balance exercises on a consistent basis before entering your sixties and before you might experience a debilitating fall.

Senior Balance Exercises Improve Stability

Medical professionals have determined that senior balance exercises are an effective means to enhance steadiness and limit the possibility of falling for aging individuals. Since medical researchers have proven that an individual's balance abilities begin to decline in their later years, equilibrium routines should be initiated before the diminishing steadiness is noted. To avoid becoming a statistic of being one of the three seniors who are destined to fall this year, beginning stability exercises as a person reaches their late fifties is imperative. One beginning steadiness routine that you can start involves standing near a counter or table to hang on to if you need to and position your feet in a line with one foot in front of the other. In this narrow base of support position, you will challenge your balance reactions. You can learn how to progress senior balance exercises such as this tandem stance routine by following along with a knowledgeable Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
