Staying active and mobile is something we truly believe in no matter what your age. However, sometimes we find ourselves involved in activities that require us to be on the floor like playing with grand babies or cleaning under tables or chairs. Knowing the right exercises and areas of your body to work on to help you get back up from the floor can make these activities much easier and enjoyable.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Why we thought it was important to address this issue of getting up from the floor and how much of a problem this can be as we age.

2). How falling to the floor is a real problem for many older individuals and having the strength/skill to be able to help yourself get back up (if there are no injuries) can make a big difference.

3). How simple body weight exercises can help you build up the strength to help you if you find yourself on the floor and are ready to get back up.

4). Why focusing on exercises that work you gluteal muscles is an important aspect to building the stability you need to help transition from the floor to standing.

5). The many different ways you can work your core muscles while exercising that don’t require you to do sit ups on the floor which will also help with stability.

Being on the floor can be challenging for some folks and lifting your body back up to standing position may not always be easy especially as the body ages. We hope the tips we’ve shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may have issues when coming back up from the floor. Our goal is to help keep you safe and mobile for as long as possible and enjoy activities like playing with those grand babies!
