   Being physically active can be an effective way to minimize feelings of fatigue and participating in senior balance exercises can help you be safe during all movement activities. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Fatigue is a common complaint among those in the aging population. Everyone feels tired now and then. For most people, however,  after a good night’s sleep, most people feel refreshed and ready to face a new day. If you continue to feel tired for weeks, it’s time to take action to see your doctor or to start a physical activity program. Your doctor may be able to help you find out what’s causing your fatigue and may even suggest ways for you to become more active. Feeling fatigued can be like an alarm going off in your body. It may be the first sign that something is wrong. But, fatigue itself is not a disease. For example, many older people live with rheumatoid arthritis, a painful condition that affects the joints, usually in hands or feet. In addition to their pain, people with rheumatoid arthritis often complain of other symptoms such as fatigue. Or, people with cancer may feel fatigued from the disease or treatments, or both. They may be dealing with pain and nausea as well. These are just two examples of situations where talking to your healthcare provider about feeling fatigue may lead to helpful solutions—for instance, adding mild exercises to your daily routine.

Many medical problems and treatments can add to fatigue. These include:

• Taking certain medications, such as antidepressants, antihistamines, and medicines for nausea and pain

• Having medical treatments, like chemotherapy and radiation

• Recovering from major surgery

• Fatigue can be linked to many emotions, including:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Grief from loss of family, friends, or home of many years

  • Stress from financial or personal problems

  • Feeling that you no longer have control over your life

   Being bored can also make you feel fatigued. That may sound strange, but it’s true. If you have been very busy during your working years, when you stop working you may find yourself a little lost about how to spend your time. When you wake up in the morning, you may see long days stretching before you with nothing planned. It doesn’t have to be that way. Research shows that engaging in social and productive activities that you enjoy, like volunteering in your community, may help maintain your wellbeing. Think about what interests you and what you have to offer, and look for places to volunteer. Exercise or other physical activity may help relieve emotional problems such as boredom, anxiety and stress. When starting an exercise program, however, it is important to perform certain senior balance exercises first to make sure that you develop adequate stability for all movement activities.
