4 Exercises to Increase Balance for Seniors

Balance is one of the first things to go as people age. It’s a skill that most people take for granted in their youth and one’s ability to perform balance movements fades with time.

It shouldn’t take a genius to realize when something just isn’t working, yet every day so many of us seem to get nowhere with where we are trying to go.

Alzheimer’s and Exercise

It’s been estimated that over 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s, according to the Alzheimer’s Foundation. Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia which attacks the nerve cells in the brain.

Are You 3D Fit?

Designing workouts for optimal health, performance and longevity can be a challenge. Over the years I have worked with many high level athletes and the fittest and most successful rarely ever rely on any one workout or routine. They usually approaching it like assembling pieces of a puzzle, consistently challenging their bodies in multiple ways. No single workout or activity provides all the necessary pieces. Does your training and workouts have all the necessary ingredients? If you are a fitness professional, can you be doing more for your clients?

Evolution of Medical Fitness

Once upon a time, exercising used to have a uniform and a regiment specific for men and women. Men would suit up in short shorts, beach themed tank tops, white headbands, wrist-bands, calf high knee socks, and white New Balance shoes. Women would shimmy into their sleek leotards, heads decorated with colorful braided headbands, legs adorned with scrunchie leg warmers, and feet comforted by puffy, linen white high-tops.
