2. Balance
Did you know that falling over is the second most common cause of accidental death? Many of these falls are the result of a loss of balance, something that tends to be a problem in the over-65 group.
If, however, you want to act sooner rather than later, you can begin workouts that focus on balance.
Spend at least two minutes standing on one leg at a time, balance on a wobble board, and do squats. Then, if you’re really intent on doing yourself favors as you age, enroll in a Tai Chi class.
