Aging and Exercise
26 useful thoughts about exercise as you age from a remarkably sensible site.
Lots of advertising at lifetips but not objectionable.
Tip 9 (out of 26):
Balance Training: Falling can be dangerous for older people, and fear of falling can cause people to restrict their activities. Strength training can help prevent falls. Tai chi and some yoga can improve balance, and there are also specific balance exercises, some using exercise balls. Exercise training is specific so you have to do balance training on your feet. Chair exercises won´t do it.
