When I was in clinical practice, one of the most common challenges my patients & I faced was finding exercises that were easy and simple enough to do at home, but still be effective. 

The following exercises are the culmination of over 17 years of "trial & error" during my time in clinical practice that I have found to be the easiest for people to incorporate, stick to, and most importantly…be effective! 

Any one of these exercises will help with balance, fall prevention, overall strength, flexibility & agility, and reducing back & joint pain, but combine all 5 and you've got a winning combination! 

The 5 Easy Exercises Anybody Can Do include Chair Stand, Single-leg Balance, Angel Wing, Figure 4 Stretch, and Hip Flexor Activation. 

Some really simple ideas to incorporate these throughout your day include set an alarm on your phone every hour and do just one of them, do one exercise right before you go to the restroom or right before a meal, or try doing the single-leg balance while doing dishes or brushing your teeth. 

Just remember - keep it simple and you're much more likely to stick to a routine and do these everyday!

SO – enough sitting – let’s get up for a moment and move our body!

Were you able to get out of your chair without using your arms?  This is a great indicator of your leg strength. Strong legs help prevent falls and fractures.

One thing you can work on during your day is doing a modified squat over your chair. Do a couple of these whenever you can and see how quickly your thigh muscles respond – you will notice you get stronger pretty quickly.

Now that you are standing, let’s talk about posture. We learned about the importance of posture as kids, and we need to be reminded of it as we get older. 

Strengthening the muscles between your shoulders can help protect your spine and improve your balance as well. Let’s all stand up as straight as we can and put our arms out in a “Y”, down to a “W”, and out to a “T”...

Single Leg Balancing is also really important. Try holding on to the back of a chair or the counter and standing on one leg. If you work on this throughout the day, you will notice a difference in a short time and be able to balance without holding on.

Hopefully, this training on 5 Easy Exercises Anybody Can Do was helpful and you now have a plan to implement into your daily routine!

Always remember how important it is to feel your best and say NO to back & joint pain, bad posture, poor balance, stiffness...the list goes on. Especially when it can be so easy to feel good!
