  In later years, there are some important health habits, including participating in physical fitness and  senior balance exercises, which will help to keep you healthy and active. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Older adults are encouraged by healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses and physical therapists to take inventory of their health by asking a few pertinent questions. As an example, you can ask yourself "what is my daily activity level like?" If you are sedentary, you stand to risk losing more muscle mass, general strength, cardiovascular output, lung capacity and balance abilities. Another question to poinder is What if I've never been very active? Will starting now really make a difference? Yes! Physical activity is good for people at any age. Among older adults, falls are a common cause of injury and disability. Physical activity makes your bones and muscles stronger. When your muscles are strong, you're less likely to fall. If you do fall, strong bones are less likely to break. One way to help maintain good stability and avoid injuries from falling is to participate in a series of senior balance exercises on a regular basis.

Healthy Living With Senior Balance Exercises

   One essential way to stay active and healthy in later years is to perform senior balance exercises as part of a daily fitness routine to develop strong stability skills and to avoid falling. To help maintain good steadiness with walking activities, you can rehearse an equilibrium routine called tandem walking. The basics of tandem walking involves walking along a line heel to toe. Tandem walking challenges the balance reactions at your feet and ankles and helps you to establish excellent balance abilities which are needed on more advanced terrain like grass or walking paths. You can learn how to do tandem walking and other senior balance exercises by following the direction of a qualified Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
