Balance, Coordination & Fall Prevention - Changi General Hospital

REDUCE YOUR FALL RISK
UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN PREVENT FALLS BY DEVELOPING
BALANCE COORDINATION AND STRENGTH
• You don’t have to do all of the exercise at once. Spread them out
and do some in the morning and some in the evening if you like
• Choose an activity that you enjoy and that you feel comfortable
doing.
• Exercise with a friend or in a group – it is more enjoyable if you have
someone to talk to
• Vary your walk route and choose interesting places to visit, such as
a park or beach
• Don’t exercise during the hottest part of the day
• Set weekly goals that are achievable
• Maintain an exercise diary to monitor your achievements
