Exercises
For Improving Balance In Seniors And The Elderly
Exercises
for improving balance are vital in helping seniors and the elderly reduce the
risk of falling. For generalized balance decline, I recommend performing
balance exercises on a daily basis.
Below I
have made a great balance video that is fun and easy to do. All you need is
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.
Working on
our static or "standing" balance with exercises like body circles
below will greatly assist in increasing our stability.
An
important component of exercises for improving balance is your ability to
integrate your sensory information as you go about your day. This information
comes from your eyes, vestibule apparatus in your ears, and your somatosensory
system which allows you to know where your body is in space.
How do you
handle standing on hard cement, soft grass, gravel surfaces or carpet. Try
standing on different surfaces as you perform the exercise below called body
circles.
If you are
unsure of your balance when closing your eyes while standing, hold on to your
good buddy the chair to start. This is always a great option when performing
balancing exercises.
You can do
it. This is one of my favorite exercises to strengthen the ankles, which are
our first line of defense when it comes to losing your balance. Your ankles
keep your torso centered over your base of support.
When
performing exercises for improving balance, like the one below, try to keep
your knees and hips stiff and straight. This will enhance the work your ankles
need to do and will make the exercise that much better.

Tips for a “Sculpted” Lean Body
Does your
exercise program have you spending hours
in the gym lifting weights, doing rep after rep and you’re still not seeing the
results you want? It could be that you are working your body too much, too
little, or you’re simply doing strength training and not muscle building. When
working out, try to maintain an Anabolic Rep Range of 8-12 reps, while using a
Progressive overload lift routine.
Exercise
programs for developing a lean muscular body, as most any work outs do, take
place outside the gym as well. In your everyday routine, increase your protein
intake, your healthy fats, and decrease the amount of carbohydrates in your
diet. Following these 5 simple tips could change your exercise program into a
Muscle Building routine!
Whatever it is, there are basic fundamental
principles that will get you there. With so much confusion and conflicting
advice in the world of bodybuilding & fitness, it’s time to cut through the
noise by delving into the scientific fundamentals that guarantee a leaner
meaner body.
A Healthy
Menu For
FRIDAY
WIN
suggests using smaller plates and bowls to help control portions. A small
whole-wheat bagel with 1 tbsp. low-fat cream cheese, 1 container of light
yogurt and 1 medium banana is a portion-controlled breakfast. Three ounces of
grilled chicken on 2 cups of spinach with 7 walnuts and low-fat salad dressing
with a small whole-wheat dinner roll is a nutrient-rich, protein-packed lunch.
Two rice cakes with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese makes a filling afternoon
snack. Pasta primavera, made with 1 cup whole-wheat pasta, 2 cups mixed
vegetables and 2 tbsp. of Parmesan cheese, is a delicious vegetarian dinner.
Forty fresh grapes makes for a refreshing evening snack.
