Having recently had a fall, I realised how easily this can happen and it made me aware of the importance of a supple body, albeit the fall could not have been prevented even if I was very fit. Here are some exercises that can help keep the mind alert and hopefully also keep mobile as long as possible.

- Falls are the most common cause of hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries among seniors, and injuries like these may spell the end of independent living
- Seven basic seated and standing exercises are described that can help improve balance and coordination if you’re frail or elderly, thereby reducing your risk of falling
