One other key aspect of exercise is balance. Why? Because like all other physical abilities, balance diminishes with age unless we consciously exercise it. Is that a bad thing? Only if you fall down and break your hip or wrist.
Here’s a simple balance exercise that you can do daily. It takes just a couple of minutes and will produce quick improvement.

Here’s a simple balance exercise that you can do daily. It takes just a couple of minutes and will produce quick improvement.
- Stand, while holding onto the back edge of a chair set beside you for support.
- Bend the leg nearest to the chair at the knee 90 degrees so that your knees are still together and the foot of the bent leg is projected out behind you. Get used to balancing on the one leg while holding the chair.
- Then, turn to the other side and do the same thing with the other leg.
- After a couple of days, once you can comfortably balance like this, try taking your hand off the chair and balancing on the one leg without support from the chair.
- As you get more comfortable doing this, try to stop using your arms for balance and pull your hands in, palms together in front of your chest (a prayer position). This will force the act of balance to the muscles of one leg.
- Again, after several days, once you can comfortably balance like this, try closing your eyes and holding the pose for 30 seconds.
