Synopsis

Most balance books were written for fit sixty-year-olds.

By chapter two they have you standing on one leg with your eyes closed, or getting down onto the floor. The exact things that already feel dangerous.

This one starts where you actually are. Every exercise in Steady On Your Feet begins seated or holding something sturdy, and nothing in the book ever asks you to get down on the floor. The movements are described in plain words, step by step, each with an easier and a harder version, and most days of the 28-day plan take ten or fifteen minutes.

It also deals with the part other books skip: the fear. Being afraid of falling changes how you move, and moving fearfully makes falls more likely. Breaking that loop is half the work, and this book takes it as seriously as the exercises themselves.

You will also find a room-by-room guide to fall-proofing your home, what to check about your medications, shoes, and eyes, exactly how to get up if you do go down, and a simple tracker so you can watch yourself improve week by week.

Steadier feet buy back the errands, the garden, the walk you stopped taking. That is what this book is for.
