I came across this video when I was looking up Fitness Fix with Denise Beatty. She has a YouTube channel, Fitness Fix, and this balancing video caught my eye.

Friday Fix - Balancing

She does a great job explaining exactly what's going on with your body during the exercises.

You've gotten some great responses so far. We talked about this issue during the Yoga for Healthy Aging training I did last fall. One of the teachers of this training, Dr. Baxter Bell, addresses this in his book by the same name. I found an excerpt here that you might find helpful:

Unfortunately, falls are a huge factor in hip and other fractures, too. Osteoporosis is a risk factor, but it's a fall that usually is the cause of the actual fracture.

For those of us who haven't been impacted yet, it's so important to work on balance and strength now.

ETA - here are a couple of podcasts with Baxter Bell based on the book:
