Learn strength and balance exercises to improve your health and wellness! Siobhan McMahon, RN, is the lead researcher in a University of Minnesota study, “Ready Steady: A Wellness Program.” The objective of this study is to determine how best to promote physical activity, particularly things that improve balance and leg strength, among older adults. In the first session on August 14, McMahon presented an overview of why we fall and demonstrated and guided us through several balance movements. In this second session on August 21, she’ll review those movements, add a couple more and talk about her research project. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You don’t need to attend both sessions to participate.
