Stay Steady: Preventing Falls Before They Happen

Let’s be real—no one wants to take a tumble reaching for the remote. But as we age, our balance naturally takes a hit. The good news? You can train for better balance just like you’d train for a marathon (but with way less sweating).

Why it matters:
Falls are the #1 cause of injury in older adults. But most are preventable with a few simple moves and smart habits.

Easy balance-boosters:

• Stand on one foot while brushing your teeth 🦷

• Walk heel-to-toe like you’re on a tightrope 🎯

• Try a beginner yoga or tai chi class 🧘‍♂️

• Do some gentle chair squats while waiting for your coffee ☕

Pro tip: Start near a chair or wall for support, and keep it short and sweet. A few minutes a day goes a long way.

Extra safety points:
Clear those tripping hazards (we’re looking at you, rogue rug), turn on the lights, and rock supportive shoes. Add grab bars in the bathroom if you want to go pro.

Balance training = fewer falls and more confidence doing what you love. So go ahead—strike a pose, steady those steps, and stay on your feet..
