Are You Afraid of Falling?
How to Build Strength, Improve Balance, and Stay Upright
The ability to remain in equilibrium - or stay uprightwhile interacting with our environment is the very definition of balance. Unfortunately, as the years go by and we embrace the behaviors expected of adulthood, we gradually stop engaging in activities that once had us hopping, skipping, tumbling, rolling, running, and swinging - just as we did on the playground or in the yard as kids.
When we stop participating in activities that challenge our balance, we gradually lose strength, coordination, and response time. Aging-related risk factors for falling - including decreased muscle strength and endurance, poor posture, slower reaction time, reduced joint flexibility and mobility, poor circulation, and fear of falling - can be reduced or even reversed with the right type and amount of exercise.
The single most important factor for improving your balance is building strength. Strengthening the muscles around critical joints such as the hips, knees, and ankles enhances balance and coordination, significantly reducing the risk of falls. In addition, building core strength - which acts as the body’s center of gravity - provides stability, supports proper posture, and helps maintain control during movement.
Falls are a significant concern, especially among older adults, often leading to severe injuries and fatalities. In 2023, approximately 41,400 individuals aged 65 and older died as a result of preventable falls, representing a 53% increase in fall-related deaths over the past decade.
Test Your Balance
Julia Darrah, NETA CPT Active Aging Specialist
Here’s a quick test to see if you have good balance or if you need to improve it.Stand next to a high-back chair or counter. Lift one foot off the floor and hold it up as long as possible. Try the test on both sides - sometimes one side will be better than the other.
If you can stand straight without wobbling and hold it for 60 seconds or more, you have great balance.
If you need to touch the chair, keep putting your foot down to stabilize yourself, or struggle to lift your foot off the floor, it may be time to work on strengthening your balance muscles. Doing so can greatly reduce your risk of falling.
Take the Next Step
To start becoming better balanced, regain your confidence, and improve your chances of staying upright, enlist the help of a certified personal trainer. Julia Darrah, NETA CPT, designs specific exercise programs to help improve your strength and balance - giving you the tools you need to stay active, independent, and safe.
Don’t ignore the fact that having good balance is very important. You don’t have to be afraid of falling!

Courtside Tips
By Rod Dunnett, USPTA Elite Professional
Just Aim Higher Over the Net for Deeper Rallies
Rallying consistently is very vital in becoming an accomplished tennis player. As your level begins to improve, opponents usually start to attack more to take control of the net. To keep your opponents near the baseline in a more defensive position on the court – you have to hit the ball with depth.
Usually if you can rally and keep the ball past the service line, opponents are less likely to attack. To do this, first realize that hitting the ball harder is not necessarily the answer. More pace can bring depth but consistency usually suffers. To more effectively achieve depth, first find a pace you are comfortable rallying with and then increase your height over the net. Pretend there is an imaginary net on top of the real one and that you must clear both. If your ball goes through the imaginary net, notice where it lands in the court and make an adjustment on the next ball if necessary. One of the most positive side effects of this strategy is that you should now rarely ever miss in the net. The balls will land deeper in the court too.
So remember, don’t necessarily think you have to hit the ball harder for depth – only higher.

PERSONAL CARE ITEM COLLECTION
The DWDM family is collecting personal care toiletry/hygiene items that will be shared with local charities. When traveling, pick up those travel size soaps, lotions, shampoos and more during your hotel stays. (New or unopened items only.)
These essential care items are greatly appreciated and will then be distributed to those in need here in Tucson, Sister Jose’s Homeless Shelter and the Poverello House (a men’s homeless shelter).
At the next dentist appointment, grab that toothbrush and toothpaste and donate those as well!
While at the store, see items on BOGO Sale and grab extra!
The white collection container is behind the bar/counter inside the Saguaro Center.
