Vital Signs And Balance Exercises

 New Vital Signs And Balance Exercises

By Suzanne Stoke, Physical Therapist @ Exercise For Balance via www.exerciseforbalance.com

    In this day and age, doctors are beginning to call exercise a new "vital sign," which can be empowered by commencing with balance exercises first. Healthcare professionals are recognizing the power of
exercise to help individuals stay healthy and active as they navigate through life. Healthcare providers like doctors, nurses and physical therapists are also seeing the decline in health that accompanies inactivity. Rather than just focus on the inactivity aspect, doctors are motivating their patients with research evidence that shows that the right amount of physical activity can positively benefit conditions like asthma, depression, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and arthritis. Recently, the American College of Sports Medicine has developed a program called, Exercise Is Medicine, which encourages primary care doctors, physician assistants, nurses and other medical providers to prescribe physical activity programs as part of the treatment plan for their patients. Doctors can prescribe specific amounts of cardiovascular or strengthening exercise, depending on the patient's overall health or specific medical conditions like Diabetes, hypertension, asthma, arthritis or other ailments. One common denominator with various fitness programs is to include balance exercises to enhance overall stability and to limit the possibility of a fall, especially as a person ages. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now

 Add Balance Exercises To Any Fitness Program

     To enhance the effectiveness and safety of any physical fitness  program, doctors recommend that you incorporate balance exercises. As  an example, to increase the difficulty and effectiveness of a lower
extremity strengthening routine, try performing your squat or calf  raise exercises while standing on a couch cushion (or other soft,  uneven surface). With a uneven or soft surface under your feet, you
will work your balance abilities at the same time as increasing your  leg strength. Additionally, you can combine performing bicep curl  exercises with lunge exercises to maximize your steadiness at the same  time as you build quadriceps muscle and bicep muscle strength. You can  learn how to progress through a step by step balance exercise routine  by following along with the instruction and demonstration of an  experienced Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
