I recommend beginner's yoga videos and a thick yoga mat. You can always skip poses that are too hard or just do them with less extension. The nice thing about yoga is that you can "fail" any time and just hang out on a comfy mat. Low impact and slow movements.
I also recommend simple isometrics. Practice standing on one foot for over a minute. Do planks. These kinds of exercises focus on building up the small muscles that help with stable walking and running and improve posture. Give yourself 1-3 days of recovery time, with more at first.
Isometric exercises are not something I thought to search for, I forgot about the word honestly. Standing on one leg is so hard! I try to do it while brushing my teeth and the tooth brushing motion adds to the experience for me lol
Those little stabilizer muscles can get weak and it can be hard to even notice until you do things like stand on one foot! If you do thst 2-3 times per week you will see good progress within a month.
