Everyday Balance Exercises: Easy moves to get stronger, feel steadier, and stay active
Balance is an often-underappreciated skill. We are reminded of its importance as we watch toddlers learn to walk, when learning a new activity, or as we get older and balance can become, well, unbalanced. Balance is important to almost everything we do, from standing on a step stool to reach a high shelf to hiking on uneven terrain. Like other attributes, you need to “use it or lose it.”
That’s why the doctors at Harvard Medical School have created Everyday Balance Exercises. It’s filled with four step-by-step balance-improving exercise routines plus dozens of practical hints and tips to keep your balance in good shape and reverse unsteady balance issues.
