Strictly’s Dr Punam Krishan reveals the 'simple' way to check for falling risk - and it only takes 12 seconds

Dr Punam Krishan, woman sitting down at dining room table with dog looking at laptop to do test to learn how to prevent falls.

The doctor and Strictly Come Dancing Star, who appeared on the show last year and is a frequent expert on the BBC's Morning Live programme, says you only need a kitchen chair and a couple of minutes to do the assessment.

While this type of ageing test isn't always accurate, mobility exercises are a good way to keep an eye on your mobility. "Over half of falls happen around the home, while one in three people over 60 will experience a fall every year," says Dr Punam Krishan. "By checking your balance with this simple test, you - and your loved ones - can rest easy."
