Over 14 million older adults fall every year in the U.S. — that's 1 in every 4 people over 65 — and falls are now the leading cause of injury-related death in that age group. Most of them weren't sedentary. Many walked every single day.
Walking is great for your heart, but it barely touches the muscles that actually keep you steady on your feet. In this video, I walk you through 6 simple exercises — all done lying in bed — that train exactly what walking leaves behind. No standing, no equipment, no impact on your joints.
Stick around to the end for the single most important exercise on this list — the one I'd recommend above all the others if you can only do one.
