Exercises for seniors using an exercise ball are great because it forces you to use your posture properly. Start using an exercise ball with help from a professional personal trainer in this free video on exercising for seniors.
An exercise ball, also called a Swiss or stability ball, is a great tool for exercise because it requires more core strength, balance and coordination than regular exercises---all of which are important for seniors. However, seniors should be careful to stick to basic ball exercises as they can be a lot more challenging than their stable counterparts. For a complete routine, do strength and core exercises with the ball twice a week for two sets of 8 to 12 reps. Also do 30 minutes of swimming or walking five days a week.
Weighted bicep ball curls are a great senior citizen exercise for strengthening the arms. Learn how to do weighted bicep ball exercises with tips from a personal trainer in this free senior citizen exercise video.
