I'm a personal trainer — when I notice mature clients struggle with balance, this is the one move I give them to fix it

Not everyone reaches a certain age and struggles with balance. Still, I’ve noticed a common theme among mature clients during workouts or mobility routines: the wobbles. And this is the exercise I always prescribe (injuries permitting).

Maintaining or building balance as you age is a strong indicator of longevity, helping you stay mobile and independent and prevent daily tasks from becoming too difficult. Think about activities you may not even think about: running, walking, climbing the stairs, or lifting one foot to tie up your sneakers.
