Thought For The Day: I will seek, claim, and act on God’s personal well for my life to be the unique person He intended me to be….~Amen~ Happy Tone It Up Tuesday, after a long weekend of good eating… we need to go back to our routine of healthy eating and exercising… and a good way of toning up our bodies is if you don’t have weights then you can use milk cartons, bottle water or even can good… So Let’s Get Busy !!! J Elderly Balance Exercises For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls Let's get started! The exercises progress in difficulty from beginning to end. If you use a cane or walking is difficult, make sure someone is with you for support. (Uncle Charlie!) Remember, elderly and senior balance training can be a fun activity but will only show benefits if it is done regularly with the correct focus. "Practice makes PERMANENT." Practice two or more of these exercises for 10 minutes every day. I know that's a lot, but you do want to get better don't you? So get a stable family member, your chair, place it in a clear spot in your living room. Put on your smooth bottom shoes and let's begin the beguine! Fall Prevention In The Elderly Good balance is important for fall prevention in seniors and the elderly. It requires the ability to keep your center of gravity over your ankles when standing and walking. Below I have made a great balance video that is fun and easy to do. All you need is a chair, comfortable loose fitting clothing, and a pair of smooth bottom shoes to wear so you won't catch your feet Activities that work on stressing our balance systems will add to our overall safety at home. Balance and mobility exercises are essential in any older adult exercise program. As we go about our day we call on our body to keep us upright, maintain our equilibrium, anticipate obstacles and react to them, speed up and slow down, bend over and reach around corners. Become Your Own Fitness Guru! 3 Reasons to become a Fitness Guru 1. It feels good to help people and there are so many out there right now who could use some of yours. What is more precious to us than our bodies and health? When you study and research health and fitness you empower yourself and give yourself the tools to help people improve their lives and bodies and get in shape. What an amazing gift that is! 2. A major trend that I believe is going to sweep the western world, especially America, is a “Do It Yourself” fitness attitude. This means that in studying exercise science, nutrition, and basic physiology in your spare time, you are preparing yourself to know the right things at the right time to increase your personal value to society. 3. Economically speaking, what the west is experiencing is a “Sickness and Disease” bubble, and history proves that all bubbles pop. A transition is taking place where profits are already shifting to preventative health and wellness over junk food, medical bills, and petroleum throw away products. When the fitness bubble really hits this country, people like you will be highly sought after and generously paid for doing good work. A Healthy Menu For Tuesday By following the Health and Human Service Department's "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension" program, you will eat well and help lower your blood pressure. Begin your day with 3/4 cup of bran cereal with a banana in low-fat milk, a slice of toast and cup of orange juice. For lunch, eat a chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat with Dijon mustard, a cup of salad with a teaspoon of low-fat Italian dressing and a cup of fruit cocktail. Dinner consists of three ounces of eye of the round beef, two tablespoons of fat-free beef gravy, a cup of green beans and a small baked potato.
