Very simple and beneficial balance exercise.

It's no joke if you are old and break bones with a fall. We all know folks who were never the same after breaking their hip, femur or back. Try to do this a couple times a day. Stand up straight barefoot on a non-carpeted floor. Lift one leg to a 90 degree angle and try to hold your balance. The goal should be one minute per leg. It builds strength and stability.

I'll try it, but if I fall I'll have to sue your ass off.

I am into the Orange Theory exercise group. This not only gives you strength but endurance also. No week muscles or bones in this body.

Don't know what that is but good for you. The thread is intended for older folks that may not be doing much to maintain strength.

You'd be surprised how many people in their 50s are already declining.
