I'm worried about falling. Is it best to avoid anything too energetic?

Question:
I'm worried about falling. Is it best to avoid anything too energetic?
Answer:
No. The best thing to do is to keep moving. Doing regular exercise can improve your strength and balance and reduce your risk of having a fall.

This can include activities such as walking and dancing, or specialist training programmes. Many community centres and local gyms offer specialist training programmes for older people. You can even do exercise at home.

If you have had a fall recently, you may want to see your GP and discuss what can be done to prevent any future falls.
