Do your best to keep your flexibility. Unhealthy posture and lack of exercise can cause pains, aches or even impairment as you age. Moving around and getting up is essential, especially for seniors. In this clip, we’ll explore some at-home exercise routines seniors can try to enhance their balance, and to prevent accidents and falls.

Although these techniques may prove beneficial to individuals who have undergone physical therapy, they can also benefit anyone else. You need balance for being able to function effectively, especially in your older years. For these senior exercises, be sure to have an object to grasp onto either side of your body so that you don’t slip. It is possible to do single leg raises in one exercise. One leg at a time is lifted up in the air, and then balance on the other. Like walking, do not do it more than a second. Next, practice kicking our leg towards the side with one hand placed on the counter, to ensure you are steady. This will help you work the hips as well as the muscles in your legs.
