Balance

Peter is an 86 year-old Vintage Fitness client. 

Winter storm weather is upon us here in Toronto which can make the roads slippery and dangerous.

As we age balance worsens due to physiological changes in the body

With 2019 a few days away and holiday dinners and drinks still in full swing, a few Vintage Fitness personal training clients have asked me to create a 15 minute balance workout.

t is not often talked about but getting in and out of the tub is an important skill for relaxation and staying independent.

A few Vintage Fitness clients mentioned to me that they have trouble lifting their grandchildren

Getting up off the floor for older people is a key part of independence ensuring that they can properly clean their homes, play with young grandchildren and get up if they fall.

Balance training like cardio, strength and flexibility should be an integral park of your exercise program

This week the trigger is when you sit down on your stairs or front bench to put on your shoes. 

Over the next 3 blogs I will show you lots of different balance exercises to make sure you go into the spring feeling stable and balanced.
