Beginner Balance Workouts for Seniors
Prevent Falls with Easy, Simple Flexibility and Strength Training Exercises that Improve Core Fitness, Stability, and Self-Confidence
By Cat Miller
Be confident, strong, and active - and put your fear of falling to rest - by harnessing the life-changing power of balance.
If you asked any senior what their main health goals are, many might answer "staying active, maintaining mobility, and preventing injuries."
Balance is key to achieving these goals and it becomes increasingly important as you notice the subtle changes taking place in your body over time.
Perhaps, you find it a little harder to get out of a car, get up from your chair, or go up or down a flight of steps with confidence. Maybe, you are looking for a way to improve your stability, so you don't have to worry about falls.
And you may wish to continue enjoying all your preferred activities or even to try out something completely new.
The foundation of better movement, mobility, and stability is balance - and it can easily be honed through exercise - even if you are an absolute beginner.
This guide contains the exercises you need to develop stability at home by following a simple program that will improve your endurance, strength, and flexibility - all of which improve your balance.
Expertly designed with colorful illustrations, this inspiring balance workout book helps you build a physically strong foundation by working up from your feet, calves, thighs, and hips, and then invites you to continue exercising your body upward all the way to your neck and head. Each chapter emphasizes an area of the body from the bottom to the top, so you can learn how to improve your overall balance fitness.
Within its dynamic pages, you will discover:
?Balance-focused exercises to easily incorporate into your workout routines
?Colorful, Careful drawings and Clear instructions for each exercise

?Chair-based exercises in each chapter from your lower body to your core to your upper body - to use if you're just starting out
?Standing exercises with a chair for support in each chapter also from the ground up - to use once you've built up your strength and balance
?Simple exercise modifications for more advanced work like standing without using a chair and/or adding weights to your movements
?Calming cooldowns that feature relaxing stretches and gentle variations of completed movements with other suggestions too like walking, soothing baths, and massages
And much more.
Starting a new regime can be a little challenging because it involves changing your habits and maybe getting off that couch.
But once you begin and make noticeable improvements in your endurance, coordination, strength, and flexibility, your decision may be one of the most rewarding choices you ever make.
If you're ready to lead a dynamic, activity-filled life and put the fear of falls behind you, this workout guide is for you.
