Improving Balance In Older Citizens

If you love tennis, golf, running, dancing, or any number of other sports or activities, you find that working on balance boosts your abilities. Not an athlete? Just walking across the room or down the road requires good balance. So does rising from a chair, going up and down stairs and  turning to look behind you. Simple everyday activities can strengthen balance.

And good balance helps prevent potentially disabling falls.

There is a lot you can do to preserve and improve your balance, and it doesn’t take special fitness classes or exercises. Incorporating balance and strength activities into your daily routine could be enough to lower your risk of falling.

Those activities incoporate balance and strength movements throughout the day — for example, squatting instead of bending over to close a drawer, or walking sideways while carrying groceries from the car to the house.
The benefits are our older citizens will experience fewer falls. It is so easy  that it is easy to stick with. To incorporate balance exercises into your older citizen's daily routine, they should try standing on one leg while talking on the phone or sitting down in a chair without using  hands and the earlier mentioned routines.
