Do you....
- Shift all your weight to one leg
- Have most of your weight on your heels or on your toes?
- Are you equally balanced on both feet?
Everyone has a homebase and becoming familiar with it can prevent you from falling. I have written about this "HOMEBASE" in my new book, The Complete Guide to Fall Prevention.
As a balance and mobility instructor, I have worked with hundreds of older adults and I believe that it is essential that you know where your homebase is and go there everytime you stand up or sit down if you want to improve your stability.
I caught myself when I was washing the dishes this weekend and I couldn't it believe where my homebase was... I was standing off balance. And I'm the Fall Prevention Lady!
I heard it takes 66 days to form a new habit (it has gone up from the original 3 weeks that it has been for years. Well, I guess we're a slow learners! You want to start going to homebase today so you can prevent a fall in the future.
