HOW TO IMPROVE BALANCE
AND PREVENT FALLS
WITH BALANCE EXERCISES
If you're over 60 and searching the internet
for ways to train your balance,
there are 5 things you should know first...
1. Balance tends to deteriorate with age.
2. Poor balance increases the likelihood of falling. Each year 1 in
3 people over the age of 60 experience a fall.
3. Balance can be improved with the right exercise program. Everyone
knows you can increase strength, heart health, and bone density with
the right exercises. Balance is no different.
4. Doing one or two balance exercises you saw in a magazine article
or on the internet will not do the job. That would be like doing arms
curl and hoping it would make all your muscles stronger.
5. To improve balance and prevent falls, you need a structured
program with a variety of safe balancing exercises that can be done
several times per week.

What are Balance Exercises?
Most people know about strength training and cardiovascular
training, but balance training exercises are completely different. The
focus of balance training is teaching the brain how to quickly
activate the right muscles at the right time to keep you upright.
* YOU DON'T NEED TO SWEAT. Unlike strength and cardiovascular
training, balance exercises primarily train the nervous system. Your
heart rate won't rise, you won't sweat,and you won't get tired.
* YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE GYM AND PAY MEMBERSHIP FEES. You can
do balancing exercises in your home whenever you want.
* YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY ANY EQUIPMENT. If you have a floor to stand
on, you have all the equipment you need.
* YOU DON'T NEED TO DEVOTE HOURS AND HOURS OF YOUR TIME Balance
exercises only take about 10 minutes a day. Can you spare 10 minutes?
Introducing The Balance Manual
In The Balance Manual you will discover:
* How balance works, and why your balance may deteriorate as you
age.
* How to safely do balance exercises on your own at home with no
equipment.
* How to strengthen your legs with simple exercises in five minutes
twice a week to help prevent falls.
* How to reduce your chances of falling at home.
Doddie Decided to Take Action and
Train Her Balance with The Balance Manual
"Mike, thank you for The Balance Manual. When I finished reading it
I was very surprised to find you did not need to spend a good deal of
time training your balance. Though the exercises look simple, I found
them to be a bit of a challenge at first, but was quite delighted to
see an improvement after practicing. Consistency is very important.
The exercises can be done in a rather short time which allows me to
keep at them. Some of them are fun to do when standing in line at the
check-out counter. It gives me confidence to know I'm secure on my
feet when I'm in a crowded environment
I find the Balance Workout Log to be very helpful. It keeps me
working on different positions and allows for an accurate record of
positions done so I can create new combinations.
The step by step pictures that show how to get up after a fall are a
very helpful visual, and the room-by-room Fall Prevention Checklist
for the Home helps one take stock of one's living space.
All this information will keep us senior citizens capable of living
a long and active life."
-Doddie Kobs, 78, great grandmother of 3

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR BALANCE AND PREVENT FALLS WITH BALANCING EXERCISES.
"I recommend these exercises to all who want to improve their
balance. Simply put, they allow me to do so much more, and I feel
better."

Meet Your New Balance Coach
Hi. My name is Mike Ross. As an exercise physiologist at a
hospital-based health and fitness center, I've worked with many
seniors by way of classes, personal training, lectures, and
consultations.
Over the years, I noticed that while a lot of seniors do
cardiovascular training for their hearts and strength training for
their muscles, I never saw anyone doing exercises to improve balance
and prevent falls.
Yet the Center for Disease Control says falling is the most common
cause of injury in people over 60. These falls can result in visits to
the hospital, broken bones, bills, and even a loss of independence.
I realized that if you could train your heart and muscles, you
should also be able to train your balance. So I started developing and
experimenting with different exercises designed to help improve
balance and prevent falls.
I wanted people to be able to do the exercises at home without my
supervision, so I knew they had to be simple and safe, and I also
didn't want anyone to have to buy any expensive equipment. I kept this
all in mind as I developed the exercises.
Over the next three years, through hundreds and hundreds of hands-on
training sessions with seniors, I tweaked each exercise to find the
right combination of safety and effectiveness.
Eventually I organized all the balance training exercises into a
comprehen- sive system. When so many of my "students" told me the
exercises were helpful, cutting-edge, and even fun, I knew I had to
share them with more people.
That's why I developed The Balance Manual. I want to show you my
system so you can improve your balance, prevent falls, and enjoy a
high quality of life.
"Mike, I am 86 years old and have had to give up golf this year
because of my physical weakness and lack of good balance. I really had
trouble hitting out of a sand trap!
I searched the internet in vain until I found an article explaining
your Manual, and I decided to look into what you had to offer.
I have started reading and using your Balance Manual and it is
exactly what I need to help maintain and improve my balance.
Your manual is truly a gift to us old geezers who need to keep
going."
-Ken Elson, Grand Island, Nebraska
More About The Balance Manual
* All the exercises are explained and accompanied by pictures so
you know you're doing them right.
* YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO EASILY CUSTOMIZE EACH BALANCE EXERCISE FOR
YOUR UNIQUE ABILITY LEVEL.
* At the end of the manual you will find the BALANCE WORKOUT SHEET
with all the exercises on one page that you can print or copy so you
can have it out for quick reference whenever you do the exercises.
* NO MEDICAL JARGON! I realize you aren't studying to become a
doctor, so there is no medical terminology to wade through, just the
straight-forward and helpful information you need to start training
your balance, all written in large font for easy reading.
"The manual is both informative and useful in everyday life. It
defines the problem and its causes and offers practical solutions in a
clear, non-technical manner."
-Jeanne O., 74
But wait, there's a whole lot more in The Balance Manual. In fact,
balance exercises are just step one of my three-step plan to help you
prevent falls and maintain independence.
Step 2 - Stronger Legs
__
___THE BALANCE MANUAL _will also show you how to strengthen your
legs to prevent falls in a special chapter...
The Five Best Exercises for Stronger Legs
Strong leg muscles are so important in your daily life. Whether it's
squatting down to pick something up, getting into your car, going up
stairs, getting up out of your recliner, or just walking around, you
need strong legs to help maintain your balance.
I've hand-picked the five best exercises for seniors to improve leg
strength. Each exercise is explained and demonstrated with pictures so
you know exactly how to do them.
And just like the balancing exercises, YOU CAN DO THESE EXERCISES IN
YOUR OWN HOME WITH NO EQUIPMENT. All you need is 5-10 minutes a couple
times per week to make an impact on leg strength.
_"The exercises have helped me with both balance and strength. I
use them every week, and afterwards I always feel refreshed and
stronger."_
-Thomas R., 76
Step 3 - Reduce Tripping Hazards at Home
Are there tripping hazards in your house? The sad truth is that most
falls happen in the home. Many of those falls are preventable if you
know what to look for.
The _FALL PREVENTION CHECKLIST FOR THE HOME_ will guide you through
a ROOM-BY-ROOM ANALYSIS OF YOUR HOME to help you eliminate potential
fall-causing hazards. There are over 20 eye-opening tips on the
checklist.
Of course, we hope you never fall, but you should be prepared just
in case. This section will also show you:
* How to MINIMIZE INJURY if you fall.
* What to do immediately after a fall. Learn how to assess yourself
and your surroundings to prevent further injury. Having a plan for
after a fall can help reduce your fear of falling.
* HOW TO GET BACK UP AFTER A FALL. Sometimes, the worst part about
a fall is the struggle to get back up. This chapter will show you a
step-by-step process to help you do that.

"My Balance Has Improved Beyond All My Hopes"
"Dear Mike, I am writing to thank you for the help I have gotten
from your balance exercises. I have had such help from them I can
hardly believe it.
After a long bout of health troubles I lost my balance and the
doctors told me I would not recover it. I was devastated and started
looking on the computer for any help I could find.
It was there that I found your exercises and started them as soon as
I could. As you said, they have become a part of my daily life, and I
now start the day with them.
My balance has improved beyond all my hopes and continues to do so.
I can't thank you enough for your help. Your book is really great.
Best wishes,"
-Margret, Australia
