7. Balance Training Prevents Falls

As you age, your balance can become unsteady, so balance training focuses on exercises that help keep you upright. They include core strengthening and maintaining muscle mass in your legs and stabilizing muscles. A practice focused on balance might incorporate standing on one leg or heel-toe walking. In addition to balance, exercises like this improve coordination, which reduces the likelihood of falls and contributes to overall feelings of physical security.
