Fall Prevention Through Movement

🚶‍♀️ The Secret to Preventing Falls? Keep Moving!

Here's something that might surprise you: staying active actually REDUCES your fall risk, not increases it.

Research shows that strength and balance exercises can lower your chances of falling by up to 31%. Strong legs = better balance = safer you!

Easy ways to get started:
• Stand on one leg while brushing your teeth
• Practice heel-to-toe walking in your hallway
• Do chair squats during commercial breaks
• Take a daily walk (even 10 minutes counts!)
• Join a senior center fitness class

The key is consistency. You don't need to be a gym rat - just move a little every day.
