An incredible 30% of people aged 65 or over are likely to have a fall this year-this is official.
On top of that, the recovery from those falls is far from guaranteed, and a sequence of events can follow from there, in terms of other ailments from the lack of movement affecting your whole body.
Just about all your functions will go in reverse, your balance will go down dramatically as well as your self confidence and willingness to go out not to risk more falls.
We all know people who never recover from falls, and relying on the system to help you and fix you is becoming an increasingly hopeless case.
It’s not all doom and gloom though. IF you constantly practice your balance, get your body stronger, then your chances of falling decreases SIGNIFICANTLY.
If you do fall and you are fit and strong, your chances of recovery are much stronger as long as you continue to take action and keep moving, keep getting stronger and imagine your best days are STILL ahead of you.
It’s not really about your age, it’s about YOU and your attitude to keep going and the work you put into in every day to get better-a big decline DOES NOT have to happen.
Try new things, get out and about and get fresh air, trust in the science of exercise and keep working on your balance, and the endless benefits it will bring as you age.
Balance improvement should be in every workout you do, because without it you have nothing, and a life without as many options or confidence anymore.
The upside of training properly is huge, don’t go through the motions, think about what you do and how greatly it will only enhance your life in all ways.
