This is day 2 of the free 5 Day Balance Course designed to help you improve your balance and prevent falls!
Today you’ll learn some basic gentle yoga and meditation that will help you build strength, reflexes and body awareness.
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in older adults. Balance naturally declines after age 40 and if you are over 65 you have a 25% chance of having a fall each year!
The statistic are sobering, yet there is hope!
Balance is simply a combination of 5 factors:
1. Strength
2. Reflexes
3. Proprioception (sensing your body in space)
4. Inner ear
5. Vision
While all of these begin to decline naturally after age 40, there is no reason why they can’t be improved at any age!
