Best Strength and Balance Exercises for Seniors | 30 Minute Workout | Talking and no talking option
I truly hope you decide to do the strength and balance workout since this is more important and beneficial than cardio workouts. Building strength and improving balance allows you to be stronger, walk longer, prevent falls, tone up, build bone strength and make you feel better physically, and mentally, too! There are so many benefits to it but these workouts are often overlooked since people often choose cardio instead. If you really don't enjoy lifting weights, at least commit to strength training once a week. Ideally, 2-3 times a week would be best BUT if you always want to do cardio, at least dedicate one workout a week to building strength and improving balance. Okay, okay, I'll stop the lecture. I just want to mention I work with frail seniors every day and they don't need to be frail. In the majority of these people, they have made the choice not to exercise. If they had dedicated time to exercising and building strength, they wouldn't be in the position they are in today. You can make changes and change what the future holds for you. If you want to prevent falls and be able to walk for many more years, strength training will allow you to do that.
In today's workout, I have provided a talking version with detailed instruction on how to perform each exercise. For those of you who are already familiar with strength training, I have created a 'no talking' version so you don't need to listen to me and you can just follow the workout. Feel free to mute me, put on your favourite music and follow the exercises. The workout is roughly 30 minutes in total for one set.
