Nurses can increase independence and quality of life as well as reduce social isolation in older patients by promoting exercise.
A 12-week community fitness program for the over 60s was found to motivate and encourage individuals to continue with regular physical activity after they completed the intervention.
The research, published in Nursing Older People, involved 42 Liverpool residents aged 60 and older with a variety of physical and mental health conditions, including arthritis, dementia, and high cholesterol.
Twenty-five participants were allocated to the exercise intervention group and 17 to the comparison group. Those in the intervention group reported improved health and wellbeing as a result of attending the 12-week program and maintained their exercise levels for up to 12 months afterwards. They also reported quick strength and power gains.
Participants stated their knowledge about exercise and its benefits had increased since taking part in the program.
The authors concluded that nurses can motivate older people to access such programs by using their skills and knowledge to support them.

Great chair, but definitely get 75 cm,
My posture improved instantly. It was relatively easy to use, and by the end of the first week I was totally and completely in love. I sit at my computer 12 hrs. a day, 7 days a week. This thing makes me use my abs, legs, and back muscles all day long, but in a way I just don’t notice. “Active exercise” is the term. I’m secretly hoping that my legs, butt, and abs will slowly but surely become tighter and more toned than ever. (Hey, a girl can dream.) And, as many others say here, I am much less tired at the end of the day. This ball is a great product. Buy Gaiam! Everything I’ve gotten from them has been the top of the line.
EDIT
Bonus benefit: Weight loss. It’s now 10 days, and I’ve lost a tiny bit of weight every day while on the ball. Makes sense–my back/thighs/abs are getting a real workout. At first, I was tired after a couple hrs. on it. Now I use it all day before I’m tired. Am confident that as I shape up, the tiredness will disappear. And the disappearing weight is FANTASTIC. I feel so light on my feet!

|Size details for someone of my own stature.,
For reference (which I think is very important when taking all reviews into account, as far as this ball goes), I am:
5’7″
125lbs
33″ inseam (crazy that this impacts the “fit,” but it does)
I use this ball as a desk chair
I am lowering the system one star, only because it would be nice to be able to choose the color one wants, rather than color by size. In my instance, it actually worked out, because I wanted the green ball (which is why I ultimately decided to go with my gut and get the ‘correct’ size for my height), but if it were too small, I would have been stuck with the large blue one.
I sincerely hope this helps, because I know how frustrating and confusing the backstory on these balls is.
