They don’t need all to be done every day, but variety helps keep the body fit and healthy, and makes exercise interesting. Having good balance is important for many activities we do every day, such as walking and going up and down the stairs. Exercise that improve balance can help prevent falls, a common problem in older adults and stroke patients. For more information and to participate in the challenge, click here. | | | | | |
