A daily dose of senior balance exercises will keep you safe as you participate in an exercise routine for strengthening, conditioning and weight loss. Please see more information at http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Now that we are fully into the new year, some folks may need a little motivation to continue with their fitness program to aid in healthy living as well as weight loss. An excellent article on weight loss and fitness training describes that  "Being overweight greatly increases your risk for many health conditions, including high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Excessive weight can also lead to osteoarthritis. Extra pressure on joints can result in pain of the knees, hips, and lower back. Fortunately, cardiovascular and strength training can be used as effective weight loss tools. And symptoms of disease commonly improve or disappear with weight loss! Cardiovascular training overloads the heart and lungs, causing them to work harder than when at rest. Examples include walking, running, bicycling, swimming, and rowing. For best results, cardiovascular exercise should be performed at a moderate intensity five to seven days each week. There are two types of cardiovascular training: steady-state cardiovascular training and high-intensity interval training (also called HIIT). Steady-state cardiovascular training is any cardiovascular exercise that’s performed at a steady and challenging, yet manageable, pace for 20 minutes or longer. HIIT, on the other hand, is any cardiovascular exercise that’s performed with predetermined intervals of varied intensity. Usually, the high-intensity intervals (performed at maximum intensity) last for two minutes or less and are followed by a lower intensity rest interval of equal or greater duration. Interval cycles are usually repeated four or more times for a total workout of 20 minutes or longer. Both types of cardiovascular exercise provide important health and fitness benefits. Choose the method that is best for you by assessing your end goals and fitness level. Steady-state cardiovascular training is excellent if you are trying to improve your health and strengthen your aerobic systems. It is highly adaptable and can be made safe and challenging no matter your fitness levels. " As you continue with the exercise program of your choice, remember to add senior balance exercises to your routine in order to maximize your safety while working out. 

 

Senior Balance Exercises For Safe Workouts

  Beginning your daily workout with certain senior balance exercises can improve your stability and minimize the risk of falling and getting injured. For example you can rehearse tandem standing or single leg standing routines before you initiate a strength program. Balance techniques can also help you enhance strength training. For instance, both equilibrium routines and strength training exercises use resistance to induce muscular contraction. Examples include squats, planks, pushups, and triceps extensions. Performing strength training exercises can improve your stability and strength, prevent injury, and increase your metabolism, which will help with weight loss. Strength training exercises should be paired together to strengthen the entire body. Two to four sets of each exercise should be performed for eight to 15 repetitions, for each muscle group, two to three times each week. You can learn necessary balance training routines and techniques from a qualified Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
