Balance Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly

Grapevine


Purpose of this exercise

This exercise improves your ability to sidestep around objects like your coffee table or pet. This exercise improves your ability to sidestep around objects like your coffee table or pet.
Lessens the chance of tripping over your own feet when changing directions.


How to do it:

Step 1

Begin standing with arms at sides, feet together.
Step 2

Step across in front of your left foot with right leg.
Continue to step sideways uncrossing the right leg.
Reverse and cross your right leg behind your left leg.
Continue to step sideways, uncrossing the left leg.


Breathing:

Breathe normally, inhale through the nose and exhale out the mouth.


Tips:


Wear smooth bottom shoes to reduce the chance of your shoe to catch.
Begin practicing in the kitchen holding on to a counter.
Try holding on to someone’s hands if you are not sure you can do this exercise.
Use a chair as a place to not only perform seated exercise but also to hold on to while standing. Hold on with your finger, one hand or two hands.

Hold chair with finger

Hold chair with one hand

Hold chair with two hands



Take it up a notch:

Try lifting your chest and looking straight ahead when sidestepping.
Use tape on your floor to make a straight line. Try to stay on the line to increase the difficulty.

You did it! I knew you could. Remember, now that you have this balance exercise down, "practice makes....permanent!". Keep practicing until you are the best grapevine stepper in the neighborhood.



Transform Your Metabolism with Exercise

Know Your Personal Body Type


Why do I need to know this? To determine what it will take to get your body type to your goal body weight and BMI. Many people want to look like someone else and they don’t even have the same body type! This will help you be more realistic to the amount of cardio or strength training you will need.


Ectomorph:   Classic “hard gainer” = more difficulty building heavy muscle mass
                       Thin build, Lower Body Fat %, Small Bone Structure

                       Shape: Stick, Pear, Apple, Hourglass
                       Will need more strength training than cardio to build lean mass

Mesomorph: Classic “natural gainer” = strong ability to build muscle mass
                        Athletic, Muscular build, Medium to Large Bone Structure
                        Shape: Stick, Pear, Apple, Hourglass

Endomorph: Classic “hard loser” = predisposed to strong fat storage, fights
                        hard to lean out, may or may not build muscle easily
                       Thick build, Higher Body Fat %, Larger Bone Structure
                      
Shape: Pear, Apple, Hourglass



A Healthy Menu For
THURSDAY


The American Academy of Family Physicians suggests choosing low-fat, lean cuts of meat, and trimming away any fat before cooking. A high-protein breakfast may consist of two scrambled eggs, with 2 slices of whole wheat toast, 1 tsp. of margarine and 2 tsp. of all-fruit jelly. A tuna sandwich--3 oz. tuna, 2 tbsp. low-fat mayonnaise--stuffed into a whole-wheat pita, with a medium apple and 3 graham cracker squares is a lean protein lunch. Two tbsp. of raisins with 15 peanuts is a satisfying afternoon snack. A lean 3 oz. portion of London broil with 1/2 cup of roasted potatoes, 1 cup of corn and a tossed salad with low-fat salad dressing is a sensible dinner. A 1/2 cup serving of whole-grain cereal with a 1/2 cup skim milk easily becomes an evening snack
