Balance Exercises for Seniors Over 60

10-Min Daily Routines to Prevent Falls, Build Stability & Regain Confidence in a 28-Day Illustrated Challenge

About this book

One in four adults over 65 falls every year, and a single fall can change everything. The good news is that balance is one of the most trainable things about the human body, at any age, and it responds to just ten minutes a day. Balance Exercises for Seniors Over 60 is a plain, practical program you can do at home holding the kitchen counter or a sturdy chair, with no equipment, no floor work and no need to be fit or flexible to begin.

Written in a warm, direct voice for capable adults who happen to be over 60, this illustrated guide explains why balance declines after 60 and exactly what to do about it, then takes you step by step through 32 gentle exercises and a 28-day challenge that builds from your first weight shift to a confident, fall-recovering quick step.

  • Why balance changes after 60: vision, inner ear, muscle and reaction time explained in plain words
  • The counter-and-chair set-up, safety rules, and three simple home tests to measure your progress
  • 32 illustrated exercises: supported single-leg stands, heel-to-toe walks, sit-to-stands, side leg raises, clock reaches, step-ups, backward walking, head turns and more
  • A complete 28-Day Challenge with one exercise a day and weekly rest days
  • How to get up safely from the floor, and how to keep your gains for life
  • A free 7-Day Fall-Proof Home Checklist

Steadier feet, a longer stride and the confidence to reach the top shelf are closer than you think. Start today, and give yourself the ten minutes that protect your independence.
