  Having a dog can be a huge benefit in your life, but may require a little senior balance exercises to keep things safe while out on a walk. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Medical researchers and healthcare professionals have long noted the asset of owning a pet. For dog lovers, those benefits can include lowering ones blood pressure, increasing feel good neurotransmitters in the brain and assisting in the amount of exercise that the owner gets. Safe dog walking is an art. Performing certain senior balance exercises are important for dog lovers who kindly exercise their dogs on walks.  To be frank, I have heard many stories about folks out on a walk with their dogs who then unexpectedly fall and end up hurting themselves. One neighbor said his dog pulled him as the dog sprinted after a bunny, causing the gentleman to fall and fracture his elbow. Another lady recalled walking two dogs and they diverged in different directions, resulting in the lady twisting her knee and injuring her ligament and meniscus. In response, healthcare providers like doctors and physical therapists suggest initiating a program of balance exercises and general awareness to assist in reducing the incidence of falling and injuries when walking your dog.

Senior Balance Exercises For Dog Walks

   Before taking your dog on a trip to the park or around the block, please try senior balance exercises  to develop essential stability. Practicing Balance exercises and balance techniques can help you stay on your feet while walking one or multiple dogs. One superior balance technique is to use the sense of touch between your feet and the ground while walking. Using the sensory feedback from your feet will give your brain a focal point to help improve balance abilities. Another great way to get your balance skills up to par before heading out for a walk is to practice the senior balance exercises in the Exercise For Balance DVD on a daily basis.
