Check Out The Exercises for Seniors on At Home Care

1. 7 In Home Care Exercises for Seniors

2. There are more than 54 million adults over the age of 65 in the U.S. Whether you’re in that group or love someone who is, you’re learning more about elderly care. To some, that means exploring nursing options. And perhaps the way you want to go is in home care. It’s not just about finding the at home nurse, though. Maintaining your health means incorporating a bit of exercise, too. The best moves for you will be challenging, but low-impact — gentle enough on your body, but enough to keep you at your best.

3. If you need help building a fitness routine, look no further than these seven exercises. You and your provider, family members or nurse can do them together! CHAIR YOGA Yoga has so many health benefits — you’ve probably heard practitioners sing its praises. You can boost your flexibility, increase strength and center your balance without putting too much strain on the body.

4. CHAIR SQUATS On that note, you can build up leg and glute strength with the help of a chair, too. This is a good one to try when you have in-home care or a nurse with you. You can reach out for support if you need it for this balance and muscle-building move. All you have to do is put a chair behind you and slowly lower yourself into it.

5. WALL PUSH-UPS Now, let’s work on some upper body strength — all you need is a wall. Stand up to two feet away and place your hands shoulder-width apart on the wall in front of you.Then, bend your elbows, just as you would doing a push-up on the floor. You’ll move closer and closer to the wall until it’s time to push yourself back up to a standing position. A few reps on a regular basis will make your chest and arms stronger.

6. TOE LIFTS Let’s work on balance again with a bit of leg strength, too. Toe lifts are an easy move that you can do with or without support. If you want to hold onto the back of a chair or perhaps a kitchen countertop. Then, lift yourself feet so your heels are off the ground. Lower them back to the ground, then press your toes again to repeat.

7. SINGLE FOOT STAND On that note, stand behind a chair and hold it with one or two hands. Then, lift your left foot and put it onto your right. Hold it there, then return your left foot to the floor. Repeat back and forth, alternating which foot you lift and move. You can do this move in place of the flamingo. Or, you can use it as a way to build up your strength and hold one foot in the air at a time — flamingo-style.

8. RESISTANCE BAND WORKOUTS If you’re willing to invest in a few fitness accessories for your in home care, then resistance band workouts could be perfect for you.With resistance bands, you can easily adjust your workouts so they’re lightweight or a bit more strenuous. Either way, they make for a gentle strengthening workout.
