You can reduce your chance of falls by improving your balance and strength through exercise .
Slips , trips and falls are common in older people because as we age , our bodies change and we lose strength and balance .
This can increase the risk of tripping over or having a fall , which can be a life changing event , resulting in serious injury , a loss of confidence and reduced independence .
According to Active & Healthy NSW , the good news is that falls are not an inevitable part of growing older - they can be prevented .
Research has shown that it is possible to reduce the risk of tripping , slipping and falling by staying active and doing some simple exercises to improve your balance .
By improving your balance and strength , you can reduce your risk of falling and causing an injury or breaking a bone .
Activities which are particularly good for balance and strength include dancing , gym sessions , group exercise classes , home exercises , lawn bowls , croquet , Pilates , Tai Chi and yoga .
