Try these stability and balance exercises to complement your cardiovascular and strength training. Stability and balance helps reduce the risk of injury, improving your ability to undertake other types of exercise and daily activity, and maintain independence as you age.
Start small if you need to and build up gradually. For example, try to do 1–2 sets of each exercise, gradually building up to 3–4 sets.
This workout can help you work towards meeting the Australian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines, which recommend being physically active on most days and including muscle-strengthening activities on at least 2 days per week, and functional activities on at least 3 days per week.
Disclaimer: If you have been inactive for a while, have heart disease, or a close relative with heart disease or if you have other major health problems, or are pregnant, please check with your doctor before following these workouts.
