A trainer swears by these three moves to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls

A man performs lunges at homes on an exercise mat with his hands on his hips. Behind him we see leafy plants, a breakfast bar and high stools.

Our balance gets worse as we get older, because the muscles and reflexes that keep us upright start to weaken.

This increases our risk of trips and falls, and can also lead to problems with coordination and posture. However, practicing the right set of exercises can help you maintain and improve this important skill.
