Improving Balance and Preventing Falls

Mary Brace - Tuesday, May 16, 2017 Here is follow up info from our healthy lunch in April of 2017.     Drills for improving ones balance: 1.Standing with feet together and arms crossed over chest, close your eyes and count to 20. Repeat 5 times. 2.Standing in a toe/heel pattern with arms at 90 degrees for balance, move forward for several feet. As you become confident drop arms down to your side for even more of a balance challenge. 3.Same as #2 but walking backwards with same toe/heel pattern. 4.Standing on one leg, move arms slowly in different directions - overhead, lifting arms up from side
