Considering on average, someone over the age of 65 falls every 18 seconds, I would say preventing a fall is high priority for anyone over 65.
Falls happen for several reasons, but one of the most important is just simply lack of strength in our “balance muscles”.
Your “balance muscles “need to be strong in order to prevent a fall. Our balance muscles are the muscles of the foot, ankle, hips, buttocks, abdominals, and low back. When these muscles are weak, we’re more prone to losing our balance and not being able to react and recover from a trip or a slip.
Maintaining, or more importantly, increasing the strength of our muscles is not only vital for preventing a fall, but also for numerous other reasons.
Muscle tissue has been labeled “the most natural form of medication we have as we age”.
Here are some reasons why increasing muscle mass is so important to healthy aging;
- Maintains the ability to perform daily tasks of life
- Mobility & Gait: Improves gait speed and stability.
- Weight control & weight loss. Helps to increase resting metabolism, so you burn more calories at rest.
- Decreases risk for aches & pains: Provides more stability around your joints.
- Improves your posture: Core & upper back strengthening will help you stand tall and avoid that dreaded “rounded shoulder” posture.
- Bone Health: Improves density within your bones, making you less at risk for osteopenia or osteoporosis.
- Blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol control
- And of course, Move, Feel & Look Better!
