Maintaining good balance is a central component of healthy aging. Balance can become compromised as people advance in their years, and this can have dire consequences. Falls, fractures, and hospitalizations are more frequent for those over 65.

Improving balance is multi-faceted, but one way to help is integrating balance-promoting movements into your daily routine. These movements can help with muscle strength, agility, balance, and spatial awareness.
