Balance isn’t something most of us think about day to day, but as we move into our 70s and beyond, maintaining good balance becomes one of the most important factors in staying active, independent, and confident on our feet. From stepping off a curb to reaching for something on a high shelf, balance underpins many of the movements we rely on every day.
The good news is that balance is a skill you can train, just like strength or flexibility. A few simple exercises performed regularly can make a big difference to how steady and stable you feel.
