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.
