Better Balance Over 50

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

At a certain point in our life we start to lose our balance.

When starting an exercise program many of us think only about losing weight to look better. Losing weight should be more accurately phrased as losing fat. As it turns out you will lose fat if the exercise program you engage in also includes the proper nutrition. If the two are done wisely the side effect is you may lower your overall weight on the scale. You may also lose inches without showing much of a weight loss on the scale.

You will also improve your health and your fitness level, but just as importantly, you should have also improved your balance and your coordination.

Why wait until you areĀ  in your 60’s, 70’s or more to start training your balance?

The video below demonstrates a cable exercise to help anyone improve their lower body strength and balance.
