 As we age, it is imperative to stay mobile and performing senior balance exercises  every day can help. Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now A recent study showed that "Elderly Find Moderate Physical Activity a Winning Way to Avoid Mobility Problems." A study described as the largest and longest randomized trial of physical activity in elderly men and women at risk of disability has found that structured physical activity of moderate intensity is more effective than a health education program with just physical stretching in reducing the risk of disability. The physical activity group significantly reduced their risk of losing the ability to walk 400 meters (about a quarter mile). Mobility - the ability to walk without assistance - is a critical characteristic for functioning independently. Reduced mobility is common in older adults and is an independent risk factor for illness, hospitalization, disability, and death. This study reinforces the concept that staying active is essential for good health and independent living. One of the first steps to stay mobile is to build adequate balance through practicing specific senior balance exercises.

Senior Balance Exercises For Extended Mobility

  Staying mobile and active is a high priority for many older individuals and rehearsing  senior balance exercises as part of a regular fitness routine can accomplish that goal. Equilibrium routines can be a simple as standing on one foot for twenty seconds. Stability routines can progress to more difficult exercises including  standing on one foot while lunging forward with the other foot. This combination of static and dynamic balance is a basic foundation of walking. By rehearsing these and other steadiness routines, you will be able to develop strong balance reactions and stability skills that will keep you mobile for years to come. You can learn appropriate senior balance exercises and other steadiness techniques to keep you mobile by following the direction of an experienced Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
