Senior Balance Exercises For Active Living

  Many older adults are finding that staying active with physical fitness, healthy eating and senior balance exercises results in improved quality of life in later years. Please see more information at   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Those in the aging population who make a point of participating in fitness activities demonstrate that staying active is a key component to healthy living and independent living in their "golden years." These senior citizens are proving what medical scientists have been reporting for the past number of years. As an example, the British researcher, E. J. Bassey, states emphatically that, "it is clear that physical training can improve the physical condition and maximum capacity of those individuals who are elderly. Furthermore,  Bassey goes on to say that "a physical training program by itself will bring no lasting benefit unless it catalyzes a change in the person to participate in a more active lifestyle which incorporates an appropriate amount of spontaneous exercise. This translates of course into a purposeful dedication to a more active lifestyle than that which is usually chosen by older adults in their later years. Typically, older individuals tend to adopt a more sedentary lifestyle following the time of their retirement. For better health, however, being more sedentary is counterintuitive to being more healthy. Medical researchers as well as healthcare providers like doctors, physician assistants, and physical therapists have shown that older individuals who remain active are healthier in many criteria of physical and mental status. Medical providers, however, recommend that those folks in the aging population practice specific senior balance exercises every day to improve their steadiness with all fitness activities.

Senior Balance Exercises For Fitness Routines

  older adults who start their day with senior balance exercises are more apt to be healthy in later life by avoiding falls and by staying active. You can easily incorporate equilibrium routines into some of your regular morning daily activities. As an example, while you are brushing your teeth you can practice standing on one foot for twenty seconds and repeating that three times. By standing on one leg at a time, you will build needed steadiness that is required for standing on one leg while you are walking. You can progress this single leg standing exercise by standing on one foot and slowly, in a controlled fashion, reaching forward to pick up items off your bathroom counter like a comb, water glass, or deodorant. By combining dynamic movement activities with static standing exercises, you will advance your stability skills to be able to maintain an upright, stable position during challenged gait activities like walking up and down stairs, on thick carpet indoors or thick grass or hiking trails outdoors. You can learn how to properly perform this single leg standing exercise as well as other senior balance exercises by following the demonstration of a knowledgeable physical therapist in the exercise for balance DVD.
