Ok, preventing falls is more than picking up throw rugs, more than keeping the night light on, and more than installing grab bars in the bathroom. Fall prevention is about staying physically able to react to life’s imbalances.
For an aging population, watching Senior Exercise Videos may be the only way some elders have to maintain their physical well being. Both the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) have identified 4 components of a successful Fall Prevention Exercise program and they are:
1. Flexibility
2. Strength
3. Balance
4. Endurance
As a Fall Prevention instructor for the City of Sacramento’s 50 Plus Wellness program, I make sure to include exercises that address each of these components in my classes. For those who do not have the luxury of an instructor or an activity director, there are quite a few Senior Exercise Videos to chose from, some of them are pretty good and all are well intended.
My Take 5 to Exercise fall prevention DVD series address the 4 components of an effective Fall Prevention program and are safe for any senior who watches exercise videos at home because all the exercises are done while seated. I safely coach the viewer through basic moves intended to improve flexibility and balance, increase strength and endurance, and encourage better posture.
Show a loved one how much you care, ease your concerns and help break the cycle of fear associated with a fall. Order a complete set of my Take 5 to Exercise Fall Prevention exercise routines today.
