Senior Balance Exercises For Staying Fit

   Having good physical condition is important throughout our lifespan and performing senior balance exercises  and strengthening exercises can help maintain optimal condition. Please see more information at   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now  Several of our body systems decline as we age. For example, our cardiovascular (heart) and pulmonary (lungs) systems can weaken and become less efficient in later life if we stop exercising those organs using the overload principle. The overload principle involves participating in an exercise routine that pushes the system to its maximum. As an example, you want to engage in physical activity like brisk walking or riding a bike that causes you to have an increase in your heart rate as well as an increase in your breathing where you are breathing more heavily ( but not substantially short of breath). By exercising at this level, you will keep your cardiovascular and pulmonary organs in good "condition." You can keep your musculoskeletal system in tip top shape by performing specific strengthening exercises that lead to fatiguing your muscles. You can also keep your balance system, which includes vision, the vestibular system and the sensory input from your body, in good working condition by participating in senior balance exercises.

Senior Balance Exercises Help With Conditioning

    In order to maintain your equilibrium or to have good stability while you perform musculoskeletal, cardiovascular or pulmonary conditioning exercises, you can rehearse certain senior balance exercises. As an example, before heading out on a brisk walk, yu can practice tandem walking, where you walk along a line in a heel to toe fashion. Tandem walking establishes strong and fast balance reactions at the feet and ankles to assist with steadiness while walking on different surfaces such as thick grass or hiking trails. You can practice senior balance exercises which will help with conditioning routines by joining in with the instruction from a qualified Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
