Did you know the NHS recommends some form of light activity every day for the over 65s? Light activity is moving rather than sitting or lying down.
Examples of light activity include:
- getting up to make a cup of tea
- moving around your home
- walking at a slow pace
- cleaning and dusting
- vacuuming
- making the bed
- standing up
If you've fallen or are worried about falling, doing exercises to improve your strength, balance and flexibility will help make you stronger and feel more confident on your feet.
