I do balance exercises when I'm cooking. Balance on one foot for 30 seconds or more, change and balance on the other foot. These I can do without support. Another balance I do is on the toes of one foot (then the other), but need to at least touch the counter for support on these.

I agree with Kristine on the scale. For me, anyway, I can gain almost 10 pounds before my pants start feeling tight. Best to nip any gain in the bud before it becomes that much harder to lose.
