Senior Balance Exercises For Strong Legs

  Performing a combination of lower extremity strengthening exercises in conjunction with  senior balance exercises can help improve leg power and safe functional activities for older individuals. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Many activities of daily living require necessary leg power to perform safely. Examples of daily routines that are needed for safe and independent living include:

-Getting up from a chair

-Going up and down stairs

-Climbing in and out of a bathtub

-Getting up from a bed

-Walking up an incline

   One normal aspect of aging, is a decline in muscle strength and the power that muscles can produce. As a result, for aging individuals daily activities can become not only more difficult to perform but also more likely to lead to a fall and an injury from a fall.  To complicate the matter more, as we grown in years, we also experience a decline in balance abilities. The combination of weaker leg muscles and reduced balance skills, promotes a higher incidence of falling among senior citizens. Consequently, medical professionals such as doctors, nurses and physical therapists recommend that older individuals practice both lower extremity strengthening exercises and senior balance exercises.

Senior Balance Exercises And Leg Strengthening Exercises

  By combining lower extremity strengthening exercises with  senior balance exercises, you will reach a synergistic effect of being able to produce greater power with your muscles and increase your steadiness for daily routines. One example of an equilibrium routine that includes leg strengthening and balance training involves standing on one foot and stepping forward with the other foot. This stability routine includes both static and dynamic balance training as well as leg strengthening. You can learn these power producing exercises as well as a series of senior balance exercises by following along in the comfort of your own home with the Exercise For Balance DVD.
