Aging can be a lot of work when it comes to taking care of yourself.

It’s always important to eat well, keep your mind busy, and exercise.

Preserving your balance as you age is critical to avoid falls and injuries.

(Think of activities like walking backward, balancing on one leg, or utilizing a balancing board.)

Older individuals should also walk at a moderate intensity for one hour a week.

The best balance training workout is one with a BOSU ball.

Consider doing certain exercises while only standing on one foot rather than two.

For instance, perform bicep curls while balancing on one leg.

Dr. Bohl also suggests training with a BOSU ball.
