Maintains range of motion, improves posture, and can alleviate stiffness and arthritis symptoms.
Balance Exercises
Critical for preventing falls, which are a major health risk for older adults.

Safety Tips
Consult your doctor before beginning a new exercise regimen, especially with pre-existing conditions.
Start slow and progress gradually. Begin with shorter durations and lower intensity.
Always warm up for 5–10 minutes and cool down with stretching to prevent injury.
Listen to your body. Pain is a sign to stop or modify an activity. Allow adequate rest between workouts.
Stay hydrated. Drink water before, during, and after exercise.
