In today's video, we go through a series of effective home exercises to prevent falls. Balance exercises for seniors are incredibly important for fall prevention. Falls are the leading cause of injuries in people over the age of 65. We start to lose muscle already at the age of 30 so continuing to challenge our muscles as we age is crucial to preventing falls. In today's class, I put my dad through a series of exercises to work on strengthening the leg muscles and give him balance exercises to challenge and work on his balance. Please have a chair beside or in front of you for safety as you do the exercises.

Exercises in today's video:
1. One leg stand/leg curl
2. Weight shift
3. Flamingo
4. Walk the line
5. Single leg stance
6. Side leg raises
7. Back leg raises
8. Knee raises
9. Squats/sit to stands
10. Calf raises
11. Step over
