Ways To Get Moving With Senior Balance Exercises

Start Safe Movements With Senior Balance Exercises

 The first step towards a healthy and safe movement activity involves performing  senior balance exercises. PLEASE SEE     http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Staying active through movement activities can promote overall health, especially as we age. Often times we need a little motivation to overcome inertia and get moving. Here are a few suggestions of ways to get moving:

Break it up. You don't need to do all 30 minutes of exercise at one time. You can get the same health benefits from doing three 10-minute sessions, or two 15-minute workouts. For example, you could do 10 minutes of squats and push-ups in the morning, take a brisk 10-minute walk after lunch, then play a round of hoops with the kids after dinner.

• Find something you enjoy. Don't struggle to do an exercise you don't like. There are endless ways to get moving. Keep trying until you find different activities you like. Then keep mixing it up.
• Make your commute count. If possible, bike, walk, or jog to and from work. You may find you feel less stressed and have more energy when you arrive. Plus, you'll save money by not having to pay for parking, gas, or bus fare.
• Get up earlier. A morning workout can boost your energy for the rest of the day. So set your alarm in the morning for 30 minutes earlier. Walk or jog around the neighborhood, or use a stationary bike or treadmill indoors.
• Choose the right time for you. While a.m. exercise may be a great way to start the day, if you're not a morning person, it may feel like a chore. Instead, try exercising at lunchtime or after work.
• Schedule your exercise. Make getting exercise just as important as your other appointments. Set aside time in your daily planner. No one needs to know what you're doing. They just need to know that you aren't available during that time. Also, no matter what type of exercise you do, try to do it at the same time every day. This helps make it part of your routine. For example, you might swim after work every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Or you could take a walk after dinner every weeknight.
• Join a team. Softball, tennis and bocce ball aren't just for kids. Look for recreational teams in your community. Most leagues are open to all skill levels. So don't worry if you have not played before. Joining a team can make exercise more fun and help keep you motivated.
• Tune in while you work out. Use TV time to exercise. You can stretch, jog in place, jump rope, use resistance bands, or use a bike trainer while you watch your favorite TV shows.
• Join or start a fitness group at work. Your co-workers likely face the same struggles to exercise as you do. Get together with like-minded folks at work to walk or jog at lunch or after work.
• Make coffee dates active. If you regularly meet a friend for coffee or lunch, think about making it an activity date instead. Take a walk or a hike, go bowling, or try a new exercise class together. Many people find exercising with a friend more fun.
• Get a trainer. Working with a trainer can help teach you new ways to exercise and keep you motivated.
• Get fit with your family. Plan weekly outings with your children that include exercise. Go bicycling, take a nature walk, or go swimming. Or, sign up for an exercise class for parents and children.
