Gentle Exercises for Seniors to Improve Balance and Prevent Falls

A senior man, viewed from a low angle, smiles with concentration as he rises from a chair during a home balance exercise.

Your First Steps to a More Confident You

You now hold the knowledge and the tools to build a stronger, more stable foundation for your life. Improving your balance is an act of empowerment—a declaration that you are in control of your health, your safety, and your independence. Every sit-to-stand and every one-leg hold is a step toward a future filled with more confidence, more activity, and more joy.

Remember that this is a journey, not a race. Be kind to yourself, celebrate your progress, and enjoy the feeling of becoming stronger and steadier with each passing week. You have the power to protect your mobility and enhance your vitality for years to come.

Ready to start? Here are three simple, actionable steps you can take this week:

1. Pick One: Choose just one exercise from our list—the Chair Sit-to-Stand is a great one—and do five repetitions right now. Feel the power in your legs.

2. Designate Your Space: Identify a safe spot in your home with a sturdy chair and clear floor space that will be your new “balance zone.”

3. Schedule It In: Open your calendar and schedule two 15-minute “balance breaks” for this week. Treating it like an important appointment makes you more likely to stick with it.
