Good for you, Terri! Walking is great exercise.
There are lots of balance building and 'fall prevention' exercises in the Silver Sneakers program I teach, and the SS water exercise class is really great for balance improvement. Wish you could come take my classes! Might there be any in your area? Most of the "Y"s offer Silver Sneakers. The SS water class is called "Splash". It's so much fun.
