4 Welcome Welcome to the program! The exercise program that you will undertake has been designed specifically for you. The benefits of exercise are plentiful. By keeping with your program, you can improve: Balance Muscle Strength General Fitness General Well-Being You need to do the prescribed exercises three times each week. You can divide the exercises up. They do not all have to be done at the same time. You may feel a bit stiff after you first start to exercise. This is quite normal. It is because you are using muscles which may not be accustomed to the exercise. It is important that you keep on exercising. The stiffness will leave as your body becomes more familiar with the exercise. 3
5 Safety Never exercise holding on to an object which may move, for example a chair. Always use the side of something stable like a counter top or solid table unless otherwise instructed. If illness stops you from maintaining the exercise program contact your instructor before starting again. Contact your doctor or physical therapist if while exercising you experience Dizziness Chest Pain Shortness of breath (you are unable to speak because you are short of breath) If you have any question about the exercise program please do not hesitate to telephone me: 4
6 Walking Walking is an excellent way to enhance your general fitness. Try going for a walk on the days between your exercises. Try to increase the distance you walk and the time you spend walking. Take advantage of fine weather to go walking. TIPS FOR WALKING Wear comfortable shoes and clothing. Start with a warm-up like marching in place for 2 minutes. WHEN YOU WALK The shoulders are relaxed and the arms gently swing. Look ahead, not down. With each step the heel lands first, then you push off on the toes. Walk on even ground. Increase your walking distance and pace gradually. Enjoy yourself! 5
7 Head Movements Stand up tall and look ahead, have the kitchen table or counter right behind you in case these exercises make you light headed. Consider using a diagonal stance. Slowly turn your head as far as you can to the right. Slowly turn your head as far as you can to the left. Repeat 5 times to each side. 6
8 Neck Movements Stand up tall and look ahead, keep the table or counter behind you. Place one hand on your chin. Guide your head straight back; avoid looking up as you do this. Repeat 5 times. 7
9 Back Extension Stand up tall with feet shoulderwidth apart. Make sure the counter or table is close behind you. Place your hands on the small of your back. Gently arch back. Repeat 5 times. 8
10 Trunk Movements Stand up tall and place your hands on your hips, keep the table or counter close behind you. Do not move your hips. Turn as far as you can to the right, comfortably. Turn as far as you can to the left, comfortably. Repeat 5 times to each side. 9
11 Ankle Movements Either sit or stand. Point the foot down then pull the foot back towards you. Repeat 10 times for each foot. 10
12 Getting Stronger by Exercising Against Resistance Strengthening your muscles is essential for maintaining healthy bones and muscles necessary for walking and being independent in your daily activities. Stronger muscles help to retain bone density, limiting osteoporosis. You should aim to do the strengthening exercises three times a week with a rest day between. Lift against the elastic resistance slowly through the entire range of movement. Never hold your breath while lifting. Inhale before lifting, exhale while lifting and inhale again while lowering your limb. You may feel a bit stiff after you first start to exercise. This is quite normal. It is because you are using muscles which may not be used to the exercise. It is important that you keep exercising. The stiffness will leave as your body becomes more familiar with the exercise. 11
