Take Action!
Many falls can be prevented. By making small changes, you can lower your risk of falling.
Exercise to Improve Strength and Balance
Aim for 2 hours and 30 minutes of activity a week. One way to do this is to get active for 30 minutes 5 times a week. If exercising for 30 minutes is too difficult, try to get moving for shorter 10-minute periods throughout the day. Be sure to exercise for at least 10 minutes at a time.
Do strengthening activities at least 2 days a week. These include lifting weights or using resistance bands (long rubber strips that stretch).
