"There's a downward spiral of the people who don't go out, who don't walk, who don't exercise, who don't do balance training, and they become weaker and weaker," said Dr. Lewis Lipsitz, a professor of medicine at Harvard University and the director of the Marcus Institute for Aging Research.
The following workout was originally created as part of an article offering a 10-second test to assess your balance. If you have tried the test (with a wall or chair nearby for safety) and didn't pass, don't panic: It's never too late to start working on balance training. And even if you can pass the 10-second test, it's important to keep working on your balance, especially if you're over 50.
Having a good sense of balance doesn't have to mean handstands and acrobatics. In fact, you can start at home without any equipment.
