Fitter in 5 - Beginner Balance Exercises For Seniors (5-Minutes)
In this video, we do a beginner balance routine. This video is best for those who are getting started improving their balance and who have some difficulties with other balance exercises.
BETTER BALANCE - 5 MINUTES BALANCE EXERCISES (BEGINNER)
Have you ever felt disheartened when you've tried to do something and couldn't?
This is something I see frequently when it comes to exercise.
It's not uncommon for people to just give up when attempting exercises and find them too difficult. They resort to the fact they're not good enough (which isn't true) and then not continue. Especially when they are new to exercise.
But........ YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING WHATEVER IT IS! You just may not be there yet!
And that's ok!
What it takes is consistency and to keep moving forward. Don't give up!
Or.... you may need to take a few steps back by doing a less difficult variation of the exercise and then work your way through more challenging exercises until you can do it.
Which is what we do in today's exercise video. We're going to do some beginner balance exercises.
Click on the video below, to get moving with me!
If you're someone that has trouble with other balance exercises, you can start here and work your way through to more difficult exercises over time. Or, if you want something to get you exercising today, why not do this also!
Tomorrow we'll do intermediate balance exercises and the following day, advanced balance exercises.

Fitter in 5 - Posture Exercises For Seniors (5-Minutes)
Join Mike, physiotherapist, for a five minute exercise video aimed at improving posture in seniors.
IMPROVE YOUR POSTURE - 5 MINUTES POSTURE EXERCISES
Maintaining good posture is important for many reasons.
Not only will it help decrease, and avoid pain, it will also improve how you look and feel amongst other benefits.
Day in, day out we spend much of our time doing tasks that are at the front of the body, such as sitting on the computer, working at desks, reading, ironing, gardening, cooking and so on.
Well.... I shouldn't include myself in the ironing category.... But I do do the others. :)
When doing many of these tasks that put our body in positions that are not so good for our posture, over time, posture changes.
This is also why it's important to be doing exercises that stretch and strengthen the right areas, to prevent bad posture and even improve it.
So, let's do this, click on the video below, (or here) to begin improving your posture.
Along with these exercises, it's also a great idea to continually have awareness of your posture throughout the day.
To do this learn the steps below and put them into action as much as you can.
Check Your Posture - Simple Posture Correction:
1) Sitting up in a chair or standing.
2) Up nice and tall.
3) Bring your shoulders up, back and down.
4) Keep your head up, your core tight and tuck your chin in.
No slouching! (I'm sure you've heard me say this enough). :)
Enjoy and..
Have Fun and Keep Moving!
I'll see you tomorrow!

Do This 1 Exercise Daily For Better Balance | Seniors Exercises
Today we do 3-minutes of very quick and simple balance practice - the single-leg stance that when done daily WILL improve your balance.
Daily balance exercise for seniors - get better balance
I'm sure you know that consistency is the key to get the benefits from exercise.
I know it can be difficult at times to stay consistent, however.
Sometimes you feel good, other times not so good and everything but the exercise gets done.
But that's ok! This happens to everyone.
We just need to find a way to make it easier, and when it's easier, it's more likely to be done more often.
This means great results!
So what's a way to make it easier?.........
Do less!
Doing small amounts of exercise consistently is going to get you greater results than more exercise only done every now and then.
Today we are going to apply this "do less" rule with an exercise video that makes it much easier to stay consistent with, to get rock steady balance.
5 minutes of 1 exercise (which I know you've attempted before) daily, is all it takes..
Now let's do it!
Click the video below (or here) to get moving with me.
Another way to stay consistent is to practice this single-leg balance exercise when doing another task - for example when watching TV or brushing your teeth. Just make sure you always do it safely.
Try it for two weeks and watch your balance improve!
You can do it!
That's it from me!
I'll see you for more exercise videos this week (most probably another two) - so stay tuned!
Have Fun, Keep Moving!
