Most Fall Prevention experts can agree on similar exercises that will maximize the benefit for Seniors and reduce their risk for an unintended fall. In this video, I discuss the four best exercises that I have used in the field when working with Seniors to keep them strong, mobile and independent. These exercises are easy to do and have proven to show the best results when done on a consistent and progressive basis. "Falls among people 65 and older are on the rise. An older adult is treated in the emergnecy room for a fall every 11 seconds, with injuries ranging from simple cuts and bruises to broken bones. Hip fractures are the most serious injury from falls, and more than half of older adults hospitalized for hip fractures after a fall never regain their previous levels of mobility or quality of life." - Harvard Medical School Website: https://www.emeritushealthfitness.com/ References and Sources: https://www.emeritushealthfitness.com/referencesandsources.html "Our goals are to keep you strong, mobile and independent for the rest of your life!" - Chris Williams Check out our YouTube channel to see more balance exercises!
