Strong Legs And Senior Balance Exercises

Leg Strength And Senior Balance Exercises

   Recently, medical researchers have investigated the correlation between women  performing leg strengthening exercises and senior balance exercises and the effects on having a healthy lifestyle. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now As an example, a study from Kings College, London, looked at the connection between physical exercise and improved cognitive aging. The study utilized 324 pairs of healthy female twins (average age at study start was 55 with a range of 43-73), and extended for 10 years, with a subset of identical twins followed up at 12 years. Since the thigh muscle is the largest muscle in the human body, the power it could develop was taken as a proxy for the overall muscular fitness of the body. The study found a striking relationship between leg power (representing overall fitness) and both 10-year cognitive change and total grey matter. The study conclusion reads: “Leg power predicts both cognitive ageing and global brain structure, despite controlling for common genetics and early life environment shared by twins. Interventions targeted to improve leg power in the long term may help reach a universal goal of healthy cognitive aging.” The first step to be able to enjoy physical activities that lead to strong leg muscles starts with performing senior balance exercises to develop essential steadiness for fitness programs.

Senior Balance Exercises For Fitness Programs

  To safely participate in fitness programs, it is suggested that you begin with specific  senior balance exercises. One equilibrium routine that you can start with is tandem walking where you walk a long a line heel to toe. Tandem walking provides an opportunity to establish excellent stability with walking, which translates to necessary steadiness with a brisk walking program.
