Balance exercises Fortunately, the exercises to reduce the risk of falls and enhance overall well-being are fairly simple and accessible. One such exercise recommended by Rabone is standing on one foot with hands on hips. Strength exercises For those looking to incorporate strength-building exercises, Rabone recommends a timed sit-to-stand exercise using a chair with a straight back, no armrests, and a seat height of approximately 43cm off the ground. Beyond exercise: the other pillars of falls prevention Exercise is one of the most effective tools available, but it’s only part of the picture. Rabone emphasises the need for support during these exercises, whether in the form of stable objects or the presence of a loved one.
