What balance gear for a 64 yr. old overweight male?- Tuesday 15 January, 2008 Viewed:2045
From: Mike Tonsing
What balance-promoting gear would you recommend for a 64 year old overweight (5\'11\" -- 275 lbs) male who has been diagnosed with benign positional vertigo? I want to do what I can to minimize the occasional dizzy effects of the vertigo and avoid a fear of falling that would keep me too sedentary for my own good. I don\'t want to giver in to this condition. I believe I will be less prone to losing balance and falling if I stabilize and strengthen my core. I have been looking at the various balance-enhancing devices on your site, but the descriptions there don\'t seem to address my issues. I have adequate space in my 2-car garage and currently I am using a NordicTrak and a treadmill there for aerobics, plus a large exercise ball (similar to the large ones in your ads). (Using the ball for wall squats and mild sit-ups.) Also, have a goal weight of 200, have dropped already from 306 to 275. I am counting calories and fat and have put myself on a 2,000 calorie a day limit. It is working so far. Because of chronic arch problems (stemming from an accident in the service 30+ years ago), have trouble with serious walking and jogging. Nonetheless, just bought some MBT shoes and hope to also incorporate them into my regime, but on a very limited basis....maybe a daily walk around the block. I live in an urban area, am married, have 2 adult children who have grown and moved.

Your thoughts?

Is the exercise ball a better choice than the balance disc?- Tuesday 11 September, 2007 Viewed:4316
From: Diane Richards
Long form:
Is the exercise ball a better exercise choice than the balance discs? I am interested in core strengthening and don’t have a lot of space. I was going to use the ball as a chair but wonder if the disc would be just as effective
