  A daily dose of fitness activities including practicing senior balance exercises  can keep older adults independent and enjoying their lives. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Nowadays, it would be difficult to find a senior citizen who does not know that regular physical activity can reduce the risk of a variety of serious ailments. An active lifestyle, however, can become challenging as aging bodies become more susceptible to arthritis, joint pains, imbalance and other health problems. There are, however, several easy and fun to perform routines that aging individuals can complete in the comfort of their own home. One example is aerobic activites to build endurance in the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. Endurance, or aerobic activities, increase your breathing and heartbeat, which helps to improve heart and lung health. This can make chores like vacuuming and raking the yard easier to do. One of the easiest forms of endurance work is brisk walking. Often times, you can participate in exercise classes at your local community or senior center. As much as possible, try to exercise with another person, whether in your home or outside. Another form of fitness that you can include in a a home program is strength training. Strength exercises help build up muscle and bone, counteracting the weakness that can come with aging. Even slight improvements in muscle strength can go a long way in facilitating independence and to be able to do activities like carrying groceries, sweeping, and getting up from a chair. Seated movements such as toe stands, knee curls, and leg extensions do not require dumbbells. Do strength-training exercises two to three times a week rather than daily, so muscles can recover, and you slowly, safely build intensity. Additionally, performing senior balance exercises help you to enhance stability and perform the other fitness activities safely and with  more confidence.
