There was an interesting article the other day in The New York Times about an often overlooked, but very important aspect of fitness – balance and stability:

One in 3 Americans over age 65 suffers a fall and our balance starts its decline when we are in our 20s. I’m glad that The Times highlighted the importance of this. At our exercise library at PhysicalFitnet, we have many exercises to challenge and improve balance while at the same time getting stronger. Check them out:
