Balance is not commonly viewed as an important aspect of physical fitness but it can prove essential in preventing injury. We normally don’t think about our balance until we slip or fall and get injured because of instability. Just like anything else such as muscle and bone strength our balance can deteriorate the older we get. Balance is one of those “use-it-or-lose-it” situations, it must be trained and strengthened over time. Poor balance can lead to instability and put us at risk to slip or fall causing serious injuries such as a broken hip, which in turn, can lead to prolonged injury and a downward spiral into dependence and ill health. The good news is that it’s never too late to start, simple exercises that don’t require a lot of equipment can be utilized to help improve balance.
