7 Exercises to Square Off the Geriatric Curve

Summary: Getting older doesn't mean you have to lose your strength and balance. Health experts recommend seven simple exercises to help you stay active and avoid the "geriatric curve"—that steady drop in energy and mobility as we age.

These easy moves include standing up from a chair, balancing on one leg (with your eyes open and closed), doing single-leg mini squats, getting up off the floor, the cat-camel yoga stretch, and "wall angels" to fix your posture. Doing these exercises regularly helps prevent falls, builds muscle, and keeps your spine flexible so you can keep doing the things you love.
