Senior Balance Exercises For Safe Physical Activity

    Staying active safely is a key desire to many older adults and starting a fitness program built on a combination of necessary strength exercises, cardiovascular exercises and  senior balance exercises is ideal. Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Medical researchers have studied the World Senior Games participants and found several important factors to maintaining a healthy and active life in later years. World Senior Games participants are a group of older adults who have largely embraced a physically active lifestyle. In a  study, more than 94% of Senior Games participants were identified as having been physically active the majority of their life. Research has also  shown that these individuals enjoy better general health than their age-equivalent counterpart (Merrill, Roy, & Lowe, 2013; Merrill, et al., 2004). To better understand the reasons for the comparatively high level of physical activity among Senior Games participants, they were asked to rank 14 intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors of physical activity. The top reason given for being physically active was recreational enjoyment and fun (Merrill, et al., 2004), which is supported as a top reason for being physical activity in other research (Salmon, Owen, Crawford, Bauman, & Sallis 2003). The next four reasons given in the study were to improve quality of life, increase energy, control weight, and increase social opportunities (Merrill, et al., 2004), which have also been identified as important motivators of physical activity in other studies. To continue safe physical activity in later years, medical researchers as well as doctors, nurses and physical therapists recommend a regular routine of strength exercises, cardiovascular exercises and  senior balance exercises.
