 Working out in 30 second intervals of intense exercises can be accomplished by first performing senior balance exercises to develop adequate stability. Please see    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Participating in a regular fitness program is essential for healthy living as we age. Medical researchers and healthcare professionals have begun to recognize that exercising at an intense level helps to produce many benefits in the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and pulmonary systems in the body.  Medical researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden recently  investigated what happens in muscle cells during bouts of short, high-intensity exercise. They had subjects perform 30 seconds of maximum exertion cycling followed by a brief period of rest. The subjects repeated this six times and then had their muscle tissue examined for the effects. The researchers found astounding results:  A mere six short bursts of exercise followed by rest were enough to trigger a noticeable generation of healthy new mitochondria in all of the subjects.  The study also revealed why there was such an increase in mitochondria ( the powerhouse of each cell). Biochemical analysis showed that short, intense bouts of exercise break down calcium channels in your muscle cells and signals those cells to increase the production of new mitochondria to improve muscular endurance. The key to staying young, healthy and active is creating MORE mitochondria that are healthy enough to produce this energy and endurance. Consequently, by adding short bursts of intense exercise to your workout program, you can increase your energy level, heart and lung fitness, and muscle strength. The first step towards participating in short bursts of intense exercise, however, is to build your balance abilities by performing senior balance exercises.

Senior Balance Exercises For Intense Fitness

  Rehearsing  senior balance exercises will help you get ready to take your fitness program to the next level of intense activity. One example of intense exercise can include  alternating lunges.

1. With your hands at your hips, take a step forward with your right leg until your front knee is bent 90 degrees and your back knee almost touches the ground.

2. Push off from your leading foot and return to starting position.

3. Repeat with your left leg. Continue until you feel winded.

4. Rest, recover and do two more sets.

Start at a speed and level of intensity you're comfortable with. before you initiate alternating lunges, you can start with a stability routine where you stand on one foot and swing the other foot forwards to establish steadiness with static and dynamic movements. You can learn these senior balance exercises and other steadiness tips by following the direction of a qualified Physical Therapist in the exercise for balance DVD.
