These "anytime, anywhere" exercises will help you improve your balance. And you can do them as often as you like, as long as you have something sturdy nearby to hold onto if you become unsteady.
- Walk heel-to-toe. Position your heel just in front of the toes of the opposite foot each time you take a step. Your heel and toes should touch or almost touch.
- Practice standing up and sitting down without using your hands.
- Stand on one foot. You can do this while waiting in line at the grocery store or at the bus stop. Remember to alternate feet!
