- Latest coverage underscores strength work tailored with coordination and mobility to counter muscle loss, weaker bones, and balance problems.
- Common pitfalls flagged include starting too heavy, prioritizing repetitions over form, skipping warmups, ignoring pain, neglecting balance training, shortchanging recovery, and consuming too little protein.
- Qigong is highlighted as an accessible stability practice that uses slow, controlled movements with focused breathing to improve coordination and postural strength.
- It requires no special equipment and can be performed standing or seated, which suits people with limited mobility.
- At‑home guidance also points to hip external rotation exercises to build leg strength and a more stable base for fall prevention.
