BU Fall Prevention Homework Series (Ep. 16)

Balance University is a fall prevention program. It is based on the four pillars of effective fall prevention exercise programs. Strength, posture, flexibility and balance are the four pillars necessary to effectively improve one's balance. Do these homework assignments and you will greatly increase your chances for living an independent life and reduce your risk for an unintended fall.

How many should you do?:
1. Squat with Arm Raises: 1-3 sets of 3-5 reps. Choose the amount of reps that work for you. If 3 reps are a challenge for you, then work on that amount of reps and try to increase by one to two reps every week. (if possible, do this two to three times in the morning and in the evening)
2. SL Balance with Head Rotation: 1-2 sets of 3-5 rotations (if possible, do this in the morning and in the evening).

*Please have something steady and sturdy to hang on too... just in case!
