Day 6 of our 7-Day Get Stronger in 10 Minutes Challenge will improve your balance and help prevent falls.

This balance workout to prevent falls for seniors features 5 exercises that will help you improve the 3 sensory systems responsible for balance: the visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems. These sensory systems send information to the brain about where the body is in space. The visual system tells you where your body is in relation to what you see in the environment; the vestibular system tells you the position and movement of your head; and the proprioceptive system provides information about where the body is in space based on muscle and joint activity.

Exercising — including balance and strength training — managing your medications, checking your vision, and making your environment safer are things you can do to prevent falls. Visit the yes2next.com blog for additional information and exercises to prevent falls for seniors:
