I am 75 and need my balance to stay independent.
So thank you for giving me so.many idea's to help my balance.
It is the one thing that makes the elderly loose there confidence.
I am beginning with simple one leg balance for 30 seconds on each leg.
And the obstacle cause I do 1 minute.

I really want to thank you . You just made me so attentive to the ATM. It’s helping me a lot in regaining my flexibility. Even my knee pain is reduced and I opting for more body movements of all kind .

[minkademko]

Super helpful video! I like the one legged tippie-toe exercise... That's one I haven't seen before, just with both feet.

[keishaboyd]

Thank you so much for this game idea. I didn't realize how terrified I was of simply lifting my legs
I actually surprised myself at what I was able to do ☺️

This is one of those great ideas to move your body during times when you would usually be sedentary. Like watching YouTube. Or playing games on the iPad. You could do them standing in line at the store. Just don't throw a bunch of things you haven't paid for on the ground; you could get arrested.

I have trouble with balance… SUPER clumsy!! Once or twice a week I can throw stuff on the floor and practice different ways to walk around it. Btw, my teenagers must already know this technique 😏. Love your video…thank you!

[charlespentrose]

And some days my cat will volunteer to be an additional obstacle. :D
Back when I would regularly take public transit during rush hour and had to stand I would see how little I needed to hold the post.
