Balance is used in daily functions such as walking and going up and down stairs. Practicing and maintaining good balance can make these daily functions easier and prevent falls, especially as people age.

Prenatal workouts can be beneficial to both mom and baby. It is recommended to discuss exercise with your doctor prior to starting an exercise routine during pregnancy.
