🌿 Active April: Let’s Talk Balance! 🌿
Kicking off our first focus of the month: balance! Staying steady on your feet is key to preventing falls and maintaining independence as we age.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older adults should include balance exercises at least 3 days per week as part of their routine.
Here are 3 simple balance exercises you can try at home:
👟 Heel-to-toe walk – Place one foot directly in front of the other as you walk in a straight line
👟 Single-leg stand – Hold onto a chair and lift one foot for 10–15 seconds, then switch
👟 Seated to standing – Practice standing up from a chair without using your hands
Small movements make a big difference. Stay steady, stay strong, and follow along all month for more ways to keep moving safely! 💙
