Strengthen Your Core
Your core includes muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen — the muscles that hold you upright. When you strengthen your core muscles, you can improve balance and stability. The Lying Hip Bridge is a classic core exercise. Lie on your back, on the floor, with your arms at your sides, palms down. Bend your knees to a 45°angle, place your feet flat on the floor hip distance apart. Raise your hips and lift your buttocks and lower back off the floor. Squeeze the back of your legs, buttocks, and core to create a straight line from your knees to shoulders. Pause at the top, then slowly lower yourself back to the floor. You can make this exercise more challenging by doing it with a fitness ball as demonstrated in the Glute Bridge variation
