Seniors: the best exercise to stop leaning forward when you walk

• Standing on one leg. This exercise helps to strengthen your core muscles and improve your balance. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides. Lift one leg up off the ground and balance on your other leg. Hold this position for as long as you can, then repeat with the other leg.
• Heel-to-toe walking. This exercise helps to improve your balance and coordination. Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart. Slowly walk forward, placing your heel on the ground directly in front of your toes. Continue walking in this way for 10-15 steps.
• Sidestepping. This exercise helps to improve your balance and range of motion. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides. Step sideways to the right, then step sideways to the left. Continue stepping sideways for 10-15 steps.

It is important to talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any health conditions. You should also start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as you get stronger.

Here are some other tips for reducing forward lean in seniors:

• Wear supportive shoes. Shoes with good arch support and a firm heel can help to improve your balance and reduce the strain on your joints.
• Maintain good posture. When you stand or walk, keep your back straight and your shoulders back. This will help to keep your weight evenly distributed and reduce the strain on your muscles and joints.
• Strengthen your core muscles. Strong core muscles can help to improve your balance and posture. There are many exercises you can do to strengthen your core, such as sit-ups, crunches, and planks.
• Stretch regularly. Stretching can help to improve your flexibility and range of motion, which can also help to reduce forward lean.

By following these tips, you can help to reduce forward lean and improve your balance and mobility.
