I teach this simple three-move routine to senior clients so they can always get up off the floor unassisted, even after a bad fall

A woman kneels on an exercise mat, with her right knee on the mat and her left foot on the floor in front of her. Behind her are some sliding glass doors, showing a green garden. .

As a certified personal trainer who works with a lot of senior clients, I know that falling can be a huge concern.

Improving your balance can help, but being able to get yourself off the floor if you do fall is also very important—especially as you age.
