Balance and Strength Workout for Seniors and Beginners

Staying strong and steady as we age is one of the best ways to maintain our independence—and it’s never too late (or too early!) to start. This beginner-friendly balance and strength workout is designed especially for older adults, beginners, or anyone looking for a low-impact option they can do either seated or standing.

Why Focus on Balance and Strength?

As we get older, we naturally lose muscle mass and balance if we’re not actively working to maintain them. That can lead to a higher risk of falls, slower movement, and difficulty with everyday tasks. But the good news? You can rebuild strength and improve balance through safe, simple exercises—no fancy equipment required!
