Exercises For Improving Balance

I just saw this great tip in Parade Magazine about improving your balance through balance exercise. My yoga teacher always told me balance is something that has to be practiced otherwise you will lose some of your ability to balance. Now this article quotes research that suggests improving your balance is one the best ways to prevent fractures. How about that.
