I work with a personal trainer once a week. Some of my exercises focus on improving balance. Lifting a weight while stanfing on one leg, etc. We also do exercise on the floor and practice getting up . I am working on getting up without using my hands to push up.

@walk4life I think you're on the right track @walk4life! When I taught yoga classes, I always had folks practice getting up off the floor without using their hands. There's evidence that the ability to do this is connected with longevity. Here's a link to an article that talks about just that. Good for you @walk4life!
