Elderly
Balance Exercises For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls
What
you will need to begin balance training in your home
2.
Smooth bottom shoes. Try not to wear shoes with tacky rubber or trail type
shoes. These will catch on the carpet and floor which may result in tripping. I
like a dance type shoe, one with a leather bottom. These allow a catch-free
step. A dance shoe will also come in handy when you begin your dance class!
3.
A kitchen counter to hold on to. This is a great place to walk when you are
just beginning your balance exercise program. Simply hold on to the counter
with one hand for balance while you step forward, sideways etc. Even if your
counter is only a few feet long, just turn around and start again. Maybe you
will be inspired to start cooking again!
4.
Soft items to step over. I like children's stuffed animals or slippers. Make
sure they are not over 6 inches high. That's all you need to step over during
your stepping exercises. Don't get too ambitious and use that large stuffed
panda bear!
Calories
over Weight
When
it comes to exercising for low body fat and bringing forth glorious abdominal
muscles, weight training for muscle growth has nothing to do with it. Burning
calories is the number one goal.
Of
course this doesn’t mean that 100% cardio is ideal either, because weight
training protects lean mass from breakdown during a slimming phase. The best
approach is one that mixes short bouts (10mins) of pure cardio exercises like
jogging, swimming, jump roping etc. with circuit training. Focus primarily on
full-body workouts that incorporate ab exercises and allow for full range of
motion for functional strength.
Get
fit by reinventing mundane stomach exercises as a part of an extensive and
metabolically challenging circuit; then jog for 10 mins. Include all kinds of
extra movements, especially ones that challenge the body’s internal balance and
stabilization mechanisms when approaching an abs workout.
A
Healthy Menu For
Friday
Celebrate
the end of the workweek by starting your day with two slices of whole-wheat
French toast and two teaspoons of unsweetened applesauce mixed with a
tablespoon of maple syrup and eight ounces of non-fat yogurt. For lunch, have a
cup of low-fat cottage cheese mixed with a half cup of fruit cocktail, a salad
of baby carrots and cherry tomatoes topped with a quarter cup of low-fat ranch
dressing and a slice of whole-wheat bread with a teaspoon of fruit spread.
