Synopsis

Falls are not a normal part of aging — they are a training problem, and five minutes a day is enough to train for it.

This book is built on one simple idea: you do not need a gym, a mat, or thirty minutes. You need a chair, a kitchen counter, and five minutes you were going to spend anyway.

Inside you will find:

• A 2-minute self-test that shows which of your three "support lines" needs work first
• 15 gentle movements — seated, standing at a chair, and walking — each explained on a single page: what it is for, how to do it step by step, what to feel, what most people get wrong, and an easier or harder version
• A 28-day tick-box calendar, one page, nothing to track
• The kitchen-turn, the 3 a.m. bathroom trip, the night path home — why falls happen where they happen, and the small changes that stop them
• What to eat for stronger legs, why you wobble at night, and when a cane helps (and when it quietly makes things worse)

Written in the tradition of qigong and Chinese medicine — the kidney line that plants you, the liver line that keeps you supple, the spleen line that builds you — but in plain English, with no beliefs required. Breathe out when you press, breathe in when you release. That is the whole technique.

Large print. Illustrated with clear line drawings. No app, no equipment, no getting down on the floor.

If you have fallen in the last three months, show this book to your doctor first — Chapter 18 tells you exactly what to say. Everyone else: turn to Week 1, set a timer for five minutes, and begin.
