For any fall prevention exercises, if you feel your balance is a little off or you feel wobbly then hold onto a chair or the kitchen bench to complete.
Can also be done seated

The only way to maintain muscle mass and strength as we age is to move, not just through walking but strength training and working on your balance to decrease the risk of falls.

I have just spent a few days with my parents who are 89 & 92 years young. Mum has been going to gym since she was in her 70s.
Dad still plays bowls twice a week but Mum wanted me to show Dad a few exercises to maintain his balance.
These are the exercises we went through, Dad held onto the bench for the first 5 and he did 10 of each exercise:
1. Heel raises.
2. Toe raises.
3. Stand on one leg and swing or step the other leg to the side alternatively.
4. Standing on one leg, step forward & back with the other leg then change leg.
5. Bicep curls with weight in each hand (it can be a can of corn/tomatoes/beans etc).
6. Holding a weight stir the pot clockwise then anti clockwise.
Ten of each will assist with maintaining balance as you age.

FullerLife focuses on balance, strength and cardio to assist you with active ageing, stay on your feet, prevent falls, live life to the fullest.

Functional exercise helps to improve your strength, power, flexibility, balance, and coordination. It enables you to continue the activities that make up your day by strengthening the muscles and joints used in everyday life, in OT (Occupational Therapy) we call these ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). This is what our focus is at FullerLife.

Staying active in your 50s and beyond can be the best gift you give to yourself.

Exercise can enhance your energy levels, keep you at a healthy weight, and even possibly reduce some of the symptoms associated with aging. Exercise can be good for your brain and emotional state as well as your body. Whether you’re looking to maintain your current weight or to feel more energetic and healthy overall, there are numerous ways to stay active when you’re over 50. (Seniors.com.au).

FullerLife is a strength & balance studio in Abbotsford Victoria.
Set up by an Occupational Therapy with a passion for Active Ageing, 80-90s music (no doof doof) and wanting to keep people moving, decrease the risks of falling (biggest reason people over 50 are hospitalised), and improve balance.
Exercise at your pace.

Keep active, improve/maintain your strength and balance.
This is how you can keep doing what you want to do.
Walking is so good for you and most people are walking weekly but are you working on your balance and strength. These will assist with preventing falls, enable you to get up from the chair/lounge just to name a few things.
Get started at FullerLife in November and keep going where you want to go and do what you want to do.
