Strength training is one of the best gifts you can give your bones and balance — and you can start right in your living room, no gym required.
- Sit-to-stand from a sturdy chair.
- Wall push-ups.
- Heel raises while holding the counter.
- Standing marches for balance.
- Gentle squats to a chair.
Start with a few of each, a few days a week, and build slowly. Consistency matters far more than intensity.
Check with your doctor before starting new exercise, especially with joint or bone concerns.
