Exercises to help with balance.

• Stand on one foot, then the other, without holding onto anything for support. (Stand next to the wall or a chair that you can reach for should you lose your balance.)
• Stand up from sitting in a chair without using your hands or arms.
• Every now and then, walk heel-to-toe. The toes of the foot in back should almost touch the heel of the foot in front when you walk this way. (Have somebody nearby the first time you try this -- it's trickier than you might think.)
• Tai Chi can increase lower body strength and improve balance.
