Less than 5 minutes every day of doing this exercise is all it takes for improved balance. Why not do it when doing other tasks like watching TV or brushing your teeth (just make sure you do it safely). I'll see you again for more videos this week. Keep moving - Mike

Finding a big improvement in our balance. Thanks.

[MindYourMovement]

Mike, you've really nailed this one. My clients can really benefit from this one. Quick and simple. Let's give it up for SENIORS!

I am so glad I found your exercises. They are a big help after I developed mobility issues.

This is great and something I can incorporate into my day. I'm 67 and not active at all and am looking for ways to strengthen my legs and gain balance control. I have the opportunity to go next year on a tour of Israel and I'm so excited about it but I definitely want to be able to do as much as I can. I'm started to work on my legs now so that I can walk as much as possible and not worry about falling down. I will check out more of your videos. Thank you so much!

[anntews]

Thanks Mike will definitely do this everyday as I need to work on my balance for sure!!

[donnariddle]

You are well balanced!
I have bone-on-bone knees, so I will try as long as I can. Thank you!
God bless you!

Thank you for the support and helping us in staying mobile. It is very gracious of you. With limited finances and being confined our house it does not go unnoticed. I will share and pay it forward.

[muhammad]

Thank you very much for sharing this great tip. I hope this will help.

Mike this is such a great video. With my Husband’s Parkinson’s his balance is very poor. He gets frustrated, but like you say, do what you can. It’s hard for a Man who has been active & in great shape, he use to be a Runner, now it’s hard for him to walk some days 🥲

For the ultra elderly, like my 92-year old mother, we have her do this with a soft chair (recliner) behind them in case balance is lost.

[juliehock]

Good to do while brushing one’s teeth - the 2 minute timer is perfect. This is actually about core strength .

[icg]

Invaluable series of exercises - thank you very much.

[ritanathani]

Excellent exercise simple yet profound

[janmellor]

Managed to do with only slight wobbles, thanks :)

[janmellor]

Great little workout, it is really helping my balance and core strength, after my hip replacement surgery, along with my hospital physio exercises of course :}

[tonginchic]

I do a bunch of exercises that have helped me remain fit during these lockdown days. But that didn't include anything for balance. Will add this to my routine.. and since you can do it while watching TV or listening to an audio Book, it is more likely to be done everyday, perhaps even multiple times. One small tip - though anyone with floor-level IQ can guess what you are doing with your raised leg, do consider shifting the text to a blank part of the screen. Not essential, but desirable.

I have complained for years that my balance is really bad and is not only dangerous at 74 but destroying my obsession to get better..at golf. A pro told me its a skill like chipping you can get better..stop spending a fortune on clubs lessons and meds practice balance stupid...but you cannot fix stupid...thanks this is the ticket..5 minutes a day...even with chair I will fall.😎

[lindawalker]

I attempted to do this balance exercise Monday.Right leg did pretty good. Left leg was really bad, balance is awful can't last 10 seconds.😣
