Practice Balancing- It helps with many activities in life!
It is a proven fact that as people get older their ability to balance gets worse. The main reason for this is because as people get older they stop doing activities that require them to balance. Most people say that they took dance classes when they were younger and then after a few years stopped. Dancing requires a lot of balancing techniques like switching from one foot to the other, posing, moving your arms and upper body, dancing with a partner, and much more. When was the last time you danced or did movements like this? Here are some some movements that you can do without going to a dance class or taking lessons...
- Find an open space where you can move
- Put on some upbeat music you enjoy
- Practice lifting up one foot and then the other (a few inches off the ground)
- Do this again and straighten your leg to the front and back
- Now try to add arms and move them in the same motion as your leg
This is a simple activity, but if done often (maybe a few times a week) you will be amazed at how much better your balance is. For more advanced balancing movements you can do activities like yoga and pilates. But start NOW because balance can help prevent Multiple Sclerosis, improves joint and muscle flexibility, builds core strength, reduces stress and more. Remember that one in three people over the age of 65 will experience a fall. Lets not be one of these people and start practicing our balancing abilities early.
