Balance Training - The Missing Link

These days, more and more seniors are joining health clubs. Great! The typical exercise program involves using treadmills, stationary bikes, and weight machines. The only problem is that these machines don't do a very good job of training your sense of balance.

Most people hold on to the handles when on the treadmill, which means their brain doesn't have to worry about balance. Using an actual bike does train your balance because you have to make sure it doesn't tip over,but when was the last time you saw a stationary bike tip over? Not a chance. No balance necessary. Then there's the weight machines. Almost all of them put you in the seated position. Some even have seatbelts!

You get the idea. If your exercise program resembles the above, you need to be doing balance exercises as well. Otherwise, you will have strong muscles and a strong heart, but poor balance. That would be like having a truck that has 400 horse-power and gets 60 miles per gallon but also tips over everytime you try to turn.
