Senior Fitness: Few Balance Training Exercises

StrongBoard Balance Board Seniors Fitness

Exercises play an important role in strengthening our muscles and bones, maintaining an ideal shape and reducing the risk of several heart-related diseases. However, these become more vital as we age.

When we get older our muscles weaken and we become more susceptible to certain types of injuries. With falls being a leading cause of injury in senior citizens, the importance of balance training cannot be overstated. Balance training is particularly crucial for seniors as it is the best way to stay active and prevent falls.

There are three essential senses which help us in balancing our body and keeping the right posture-

  • Visual (what we see)
  • Proprioception (spatial orientation)
  • Vestibular (Information from inner ear)

As we grow older, these senses gradually become weak and less reliable and hence require a more conscious effort to improve one’s balance. Balance boards provide one of the best training exercises for seniors as they help to improve balance and coordinate the muscles. Thankfully, there are a wide range of functional training exercises which can help improve your balance.

Balance board exercises– There are a variety of balance board exercises with different levels of difficulty to help you train. Once you get the hang of them, these exercises can be an easy and a fun part for daily routine workouts.

Standing on one leg- Since growing older weakens bones and muscles, we have to do all that we can to strengthen them. Start off standing on one foot for 10 seconds and repeat it with switching leg. Once you are completely comfortable try to work your way up to 1 minute on each foot.

Heel-toe walk- Try walking a few steps first on your heel and then toes.

So, reduce your risk of injuries by starting today. Remember, just a few simple daily exercises can keep you steady for years to come.

Balance Training: Can It Save Your Life?

StrongBoard Balance Board Balance TrainingThis past week a study was released in the esteemed Journal of the American Medical Association- Internal Medicine, which found the rate of falls is increasing in the elderly population.

Some quick findings from the study:

  • Falling is the most frequently reported cause of injury for the elderly population
  • The rate of reported falls in adults over 65 has increased nearly 30% from 1998-2010
  • Falls were increased among the total spectrum of age groups (65-90), not just the eldest
  • Roughly 1/3 of older adults fall each year

What we can take away:

When seniors slip and fall, trip and fall, or just fall, it can cause significant injuries that can lead to death and debilitation. From the results of this study, it becomes glaringly imperative to start including balance training at an earlier age. Balance training can strengthen the muscles that can prevent falls and create better spatial awareness in both the mind and body. Please visit our learning center for more information and exercises you can do to increase your balance and incorporate more balance training in your workouts. It could save your life.
