Core Exercises for Seniors: Improve Energy, Balance, and Strength for Active Aging After 60

From the Publisher, things to avoid when exercising your core include:

"Poor form" - Incorrect positioning of your body, arms, or legs while performing core exercises can cause pain or injury. It also won't work the right muscles or give you the desired outcome.

"Exercising too fast" - Rushing through exercises to get them done quickly will not give you the results you want. Core training requires tension and time. Exercising slowly and correctly is the goal.

"Doing too much too soon" - Start at a reasonable pace and add time and difficulty slowly. If you get too sore or injure yourself, you may become discouraged and quit altogether.

Core Strength for Seniors: Reclaim Strength and Balance!

Along with balance, strength, and flexibility, core strength is something you don't want to grow older lacking. You may currently have a weak or compromised abdominal and back muscle because of injury or surgery. On the other hand, perhaps you have a moderately strong core and want to take preventative measures to keep that strength as you age. Regardless of where you are physically, you can benefit from strengthening your core through exercise.

Reduced Pain: Other areas of your body, such as the lower back and neck, don't have to compensate when the muscles that support your midsection and back are toned and strong.

Good Posture: The muscles in your back and on the sides of your body, as well as the inner core muscles that attach to your spine, help you stay erect and upright.

Better Balance and Stability: Having torso muscles that are sturdy helps provide a solid foundation for keeping you stable and staying on balance.

Inner Organ Protection: Having a muscular shield to deflect any potential damage helps keep them safe from injury.
