15 Min Balance Workout | Stability Challenge for Seniors

This 15 Min Balance Workout | Stability Challenge for Seniors features 9 exercises to prevent falls. These exercises for seniors over 60 are designed to strengthen your lower body muscles, including the glutes, hamstrings, calves, back, and abdominals, helping you stay steady on your feet.

This balance workout is structured to include a warm-up, the balance workout itself, and a cooldown. Consistency is key, so aim to perform this routine every day or at least twice a week to see improvements in muscle strength and agility, reducing the risk of falls—a leading cause of injury among older adults.

Doing the workout in your bare feet or socks will connect your feet to the floor providing added opportunities to strengthen your feet. If you need more support for your feet, feel free to wear shoes. Be near a countertop or sturdy chair or table for support.

We recommend doing balance work at least twice a week, everyday is even better! This one can be done by itself or added to your warm up or cooldown.
