     Women in their fifties to seventies are faced with many challenges that  can be benefited by performing balance exercises  as part of a regular routine. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now From Moms who have to transfer kids and groceries in and out of the car to older women who have to transfer themselves in and out of bed, many daily activities create challenges to ones balance abilities. As a result, equilibrium exercises are understandably important for middle aged women and  older women alike to rehearse on a daily basis. Stability exercises and core strengthening routines help combat  forward leaning posture that arises in older women. Furthermore, steadiness exercises,  help correct the faulty gait pattern older women have where they drag their toes on the ground, increasing their risk for falling. For both middle aged women and senior citizens equilibrium exercises can aid in improving leg strength to enhance stability and reduce the risk of falling in  women of all ages and all walks of life. Consequently, research has shown that balance exercises are imperative and very effective for young to older women to perform daily.

Daily Balance Exercises For women Of All Ages

      Since medical research has shown that women are more likely to suffer a fall than men, rehearsing balance exercises as part of a daily routine is imperative for women across the ages. women have medical conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis which contribute to imbalance and a greater occurrence of fractures with falling. Consequently, performing equilibrium exercises is a must for women as they grow gracefully in years. Balance exercises in middle age women, 40's and 50's, has been a recent interest for research. Sihvonen S., Era P. and Helenius M. in their recent study, Postural balance and health-related factors in middle-aged and older women with injurious falls and non-fallers, looked at middle age women and balance exercises. Older fallers aged over 70 years have shown impaired balance abilities.  The aim of a recent study was to analyze possible differences in balance control and other health-related factors between female fallers and non-fallers aged 50-68 years. Results:  In the younger age group (50-58 years), chronic illnesses, use of medication, dizziness, and self-reported problems with vision and hearing were more common in fallers than in non-fallers.  The researchers Concluded that younger women (50-58 years) with injurious falls reported more health-related problems than other groups, a fact which should be taken into consideration to prevent further development of fall-related problems. This study shows that even younger women have problems with balance and are at a greater risk for falling when they have other health related issues. Consequently, if we ourselves struggle with or know someone who struggles with health problems, we should encourage them to start balance exercises while they are young in order to keep from falling and adding on other health issues related to a fall.
