Do you want strong shoulders and a strong upper back? Here are 3 exercises to help!

Don’t fall! Here are some at home hazards you can fix to prevent falling:
1. Make sure your floors and stairs are clear of clutter and objects to avoid unexpected trips.
2. Remove throw rugs, use non-slip backings or double sided tape to keep rugs from slipping.
3. Add lights to dimly lit areas and change burnt out bulbs! Make sure there is a lamp within reach of your bed if you need to get up in the middle of the night. Make sure all stairways have adequate lighting.
4. Run electrical cords along the wall or install more outlets to avoid stray wires that may entangle your feet.
5. Ensure there are handrails along stairways and uneven walkways. Fix loose handrails promptly!
6. Place frequently used kitchen items on lower shelves or countertops for easy access (about waist high). Reaching too far causes you to lose your balance!
7. If you need to use a step stool, only use a step stool with a bar to hold on.
8. Install grab bars near the toilet, bathtub, and shower.
9. Use a non-slip mat or strips in your shower or tub.
10. Use night lights to light the way from your bed to the bathroom, for when nature wakes you in the night.
