Thank you for joining today’s class on improving balance! These exercises are designed to help you feel more secure and steady in daily activities, reducing the risk of falls and improving mobility.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Start with Deep Breathing

Accordion breathing helps engage your core, relax your jaw, and improve posture—all essential for maintaining good balance.

Side Leg Lifts for Strength

Practicing controlled side leg lifts strengthens your hips, thighs, and core, which helps with stability and prevents falls.

Back Leg Extensions for Support

Extending one leg behind while keeping your core engaged builds lower back, glute, and hamstring strength—important for standing and walking stability.

Chair-Assisted Squats for Mobility

Practicing a controlled sit-to-stand movement improves leg strength, making it easier to get up from chairs and move confidently.

Regular Practice Leads to Better Balance

Aim to do these exercises at least three times a week to maintain and improve your balance, mobility, and overall well-being.

And remember: Always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise program.
