Balance is important for seniors so that they don’t easily fall and get injured. Especially for older adults who are receiving home care in Atlanta, Georgia, it’s necessary to put in the effort for improving or maintaining balance. Here are some of the exercises that seniors can do to improve balance and prevent falls:
- Zumba
Depending on what intensity of exercise a senior receiving senior care is allowed, they can do either a high-intensity or low-intensity workout class. With Zumba, older adults will be dancing mostly to the tune of Latin music. - Aquatic fitness
Aquatic fitness classes can improve not only balance but overall fitness. This can help build up a senior’s endurance as well as strengthen muscles. Not only that, it’s safe too since there’s less pressure placed on the joints as one goes through an aquatic fitness routine. - Yoga
This holistic approach combines stretches and physical movements with breathing techniques and mindfulness. Older adults, especially those receiving non-medical home care in Georgia, can benefit from this class as it not only improves balance but can also help improve sleep quality and alleviate pain and inflammation.
