7. I'm in my late 70s and find that doing exercises in bed when I first wake up helps a lot.

I have a set of exercises my therapist taught me. Gentle stretching of the back, sides with knees bent. pelvic stretches are my routine each morning before I get out of bed. It warms my muscles up so when I roll (literally, I do a side roll) out of bed I am steady and a lot of stiffness is gone.

I didn't make these up. They were given to me in physical therapy.

No sudden moves!
