Balance & Strength Training for Seniors 101
Simple Home Exercises to Improve Core Strength, Stability, and Posture
By Vernon FisherThere's no reason you can't be strong and healthy your entire life… Do you know the secret to keeping yourself on track in your golden years?
Perhaps you’ve heard that we lose muscle mass at a rate of 3-5% per decade after 30.
This is called sarcopenia, and it’s a real phenomenon. The average man loses about 30% of his muscle mass over his lifetime.
But there’s no reason you have to be the average person.
That level of muscle loss isn’t inevitable – you just need to know how to care for your body in a way that will support it throughout the aging process.

Are you aware that you aren’t as strong as you were in your younger years?

Do you feel a little less steady on your feet than you once were?

Are you concerned that your posture is slipping?

These are common complaints of older adults… but they’re not an inevitable part of the aging process.
If you’re worried that perhaps you should have done more to keep up your strength and flexibility when you were younger, relax.
Older adults have specific exercise requirements, and you can easily build up your strength and protect your body for long and active life, no matter where you’re starting from.
Patrick Stewart is well-known for his six-pack, and he’s 79! You can train at any age… and you don’t need to do anything anywhere near as demanding as Patrick Stewart’s regime.
