Starsong, could you give us the website address for the balance and strengthening exercises? I'd like to try, Currently recovering from carpal tunnel surgery, but I should be able to exercise in a few weeks at the most.Same for me. My go-to walking speed has always been brisk (typical NY pace), but I'm usually walking with my (California native) husband who has back and sciatica issues, so he often requests that I slow down. I'd much rather walk with him than without himso I relax my gait.
As others have mentioned, these days I'm paying greater attention to uneven pavement and other fall hazards.
For the past month I've been doing 5-day-a-week, 30 minutes per day, online (at home) classes for balance, stretching and strengthening. Standing rater than sitting or being on the floor. I'm noticing a difference in my balance, flexibility and strength.
Do you walk "briskly"?

If not this, your plan may include something similar.

I checked my pace today and it was 102 steps per minute. Is that considered a brisk walk?

Yes, I walk briskly....I tell my brother that I walk with intent. Whatever that means, I thought it sounded good.
