As I called out in KABOOMER and reinforced in STRONG to SAVE, stability and balance are vital insurance riders for your physical portfolio.
Injury and morbidity numbers for Falls are staggering (literally).
- A third (!) of Medicare-aged Americans fall every year.
- One-hundred + elders die each and every day from falls.
- Women are regrettable prone to bone breaks from falls.
- 3 million Emergency Room visits each year for fall-related injuries 🙁
- See many more unsettling (!) government statistics…
What did the Moody Blues offer in their lyrics?
- learn as we grow old
- there is nothing that we need (for a miracle in our life)
When you combine balance and strength and a stretch in a complex move like this Single Leg Dead Lift (SLDL), you are on your way to second-half excellence and will likely avoid falls.
I was lucky to be a two-timer expert guest for Get Set Up’s Better Balance Challenge in May, 2024. Hundreds of adult learners found that conditioning of their proprioception and toe/foot strength quickly made differences for their activities of daily life.
Yes, you can find a miracle in your life. Do not neglect your question of balance!
