Being an utter klutz, amazingly I've never broken any body parts. (KNOCK ON WOOD). I refer to myzelf as a frequent faller because I've fallen in different countries, usually with an audience!and
Thank you very much! I am a senior driver for my company,with 1.7 million safe driving miles. I am far more concerned with hurting others than I am myself out here on the road. I get super upset when I hit animals. I get super emo about it.Kreatorcat , stay safe out there.
My FIL has been talking about this. He is almost 80 and has always been very active; but he's had some sort of leg/balance issue going on. He is a big researcher (retired from the medical field) but I'm not sure what hes decided to do. I've been wondering if yoga or tai chi is a good thing to look into for him (and myself even). A friend's husband made daily yoga his New Years Resolution and he's saying it leaves him feeling great.AbbysMom and MoochNNoodles , stay well and safe.
This thread has me thinking of safety and although I am very active all day, I would like to work more on my balance skills this year. I someday hope to get a balance board, but will start with simple exercises on my own. I just think at my age it would go a long way in helping me to right myself in a possible fall situation.
Sending good thoughts to all my friends who posted here!
