I can only offer advise that has helped me for strength and coordination of lower body.
Strength training if not already doing so. Squats & planks (with forearms resting on ground) help me the most with "core" strength. Abdominal crunches and leg lifts are next. At my age form must be perfect or I will do more harm than good.
What has helped me tremendously is Yoga. I always thought it was for sissies. I can assure you it is not. I started out with classes using Silver Sneakers Medicare at my YMCA. Instructors were great. Since Pandemic I am doing mostly at home on youtube, but it is not the same.
Benefits :: How to breathe, how to calm mind, Balance!!!, core strength and muscle stabilization.
Core strength and balance are essential for us Seniors, as falls with hip fractures are an indirect leading cause of death.
True Meditation is not what I thought it was either. Good classes on Yoga Mediation has been a great help to me on my bad home sequestering days. Yes I go to virtual Presbyterian Church also.
Namaste ; Merry Christmas

Ken, you are so correct. At 67, and a lifetime runner (now jogger), I aim to maintain strength and balance in the lower body as I age. Mobility is everything.
