Elderly Balance Problems
When
we encounter elderly balance problems with ourselves or a family member, they
are usually a result of generalized age-related declines in muscular and
sensory functions.
Below I have made a great balance video that
is fun and easy to do. All you need is a chair, comfortable loose fitting
clothing, and a pair of smooth bottom
shoes to wear so you won't catch your feet. Read on then give it a try.
After 50 years of age we begin to lose 10
percent of our strength per decade of life which lead to elderly balance
problems. Daily balance exercises can help reduce the rate of decline.
Many older adults will not only have balance
changes due to aging but also experience declines because of medical conditions
like macular degeneration, cataracts and peripheral neuropathy.
Basic Strength Training Best Practices
If
you are working more than 4 body parts a 4 Day Split is excellent. Example:
Mon
= Back & Bi’s
Tues
= Legs
Weds
= Day Off
Thurs
= Chest & Triceps
Fri
= Shoulders & Abs
Utilize
your off days for cardio or perform 30 minutes of cardio after your strength
training so you can take full advantage of all your strength before fatiguing
the muscles with cardio (Power Walk, Elliptical, Bike, Short Run).
You
also might chose to perform an overall circuit training regime, Pilates class,
or Yoga class 3-4 days a week where you get more of an overall body workout
each training day.
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.
