Elderly
Balance Problems
In
these cases it is vital to continue to work on improving your balance by daily
exercises. For elderly balance problems, try at least two balance exercises
every day like the staggered stance exercise below.
To improve you or your family members elderly
balance problems, we must address the cause. As long as there is no other
indication that the problem is more
serious, you can bet it is probably due to generalized age related changes.
These are decreased lower body strength, decreased reaction times and
inactivity.
Try this exercise below for elderly balance
problems which is great for improving balance, lower body strength and just
plain old "too much sitting around"!
You will get the hang of it. Practice every
day if you can. As I say, "practice makes....permanent!". So don't practice
"inactivity" or you will get good at it!
These
are typically great with a 4 Day Split scenario:
2
Days in a row, one day off, 2 days in a row again
These
are the very basic combinations and the combos are endless depending upon your
specific workout times, weekly progress, and personal goals. Map it out. Ink it
to paper at least 2 weeks at a time. It will help you define your workouts and
it will provide you with a solid “Self” Workout Journal to chart your
progression.
Basic
Strength Training Best Practices
The
last big key for starting your strength training workouts is to be as
consistent as you possibly can. The same
workout times and training schedules will help your body begin to
regulate. Remember every time you work
out you are adding fuel to your metabolic furnace. Your metabolism spikes and your system begin
to burn calories! When you perform
weight resistance exercises which build muscle, not only do you burn calories
during the duration of your workout, you also burn about 100 more calories over
the next 24hr period. Crucial: Be sure you feed your muscle need within 30
minutes of your workout with a serving of protein. Take a protein shake along with you to the
gym for easy access!
