My sister 82 just off to hospital after fall. Will be discussing this with her when she recovers. Prevention best!

I go to the Senior Center to a balance class & this one of the exercises our instructor teaches us, but our chairs have no arms on them. The balance class has really helped my legs!

Bob and Brad seem like some really cool dads. Thanks for this, I’m supporting my mom who is recovering from a stroke.

I watched this video a week ago and have been practicing it at work and at home. I'm 68, overweight and work at a desk for 8-10 hours a day. What a difference I can tell in just a week! I've watched many of your videos before and have benefitted from them. Thank you so much for posting these!

I did this with my mum the other day by coincidence. I used the verandah rail as a support to assist with the start. I also did standing side leg raises. Even in a few days, her balance improved dramatically. This is a really good video.

You guys are fantastic. I'm 84 and this is just the help I need. Keep your advice coming. Bob and Brad you are the best physiotherapists anywhere!

[texascontessa]

Love love love you guys. You never talk down or assume things. For those of us suddenly surprised to be a 'weak senior ' your videos are very encouraging. Thank you....grazie mille.

This is really the exercise to rule them all. I do this with postpartum mothers, active seniors, and seniors that already have some mobility issues. The response I've gotten has been great, because they really notice the change in their everyday life. Even the fit people can feel this in their legs the day after. For those who need even more of a challenge I tell them to keep one foot completely on the floor, but with the other foot they only have their heel on the floor. Some of my seniors can even do this with only one leg.

Pushing off your legs with hands on legs is a lightning bolt! What a simple hand placement made a lightbulb go off. When I saw the movement with that technique, made me gave hope! Thank you.

At 82 years, I can do full squats ....I started getting up from the bed..took a couple of weeks doing them 3 to 4 times a wk..progressed to the couch..finally I do squats with my arms extended out front...20 four times a day...love the feeling of being able to do many things. My legs were slightly sore. My 94 yr. old friends are up to 8 every other day!

This one exercise changed my life after I had a bad fall in 2016 which made me very unbalanced and I started falling doing normal things. A local therapist showed me this exercise and it works. I have been able to keep my indepence now for 5 yrs... being able to work with my own hands, doing my own work around my home. Thanks for this great video.

I love you two. You talk such common sense but keep it light hearted. Thanks for taking the trouble to post these videos. I'm a very lazy 68 year old and you inspire me. Just wish I had a wall in my house where I could fix the long stretchy bands.

Aging seems to sneak up on you, it's gradual till one day you find yourself in one of Bob and Brads situations and need help. So thanks guys you are helping lots people. Even younger ones recovering from accidents, surgery and the like.

The Alexander Technique is so helpful for balance, getting in and out of chairs, improving confidence and mobility

[Karen]

This is an amazing video. I’m 60 and recovering from neuromuscular disease and this is so useful and helpful. Thanks so much! ⭐️

[katiek]

I’ve watched so many videos on Balance exercises and yours are the most incredible and easy to follow. Thanks so much !!

[sharonmorton]

I am really impressed with your information. Thank you. I also like the way you both converse as you teach. You make it more enjoyable.

[bethmackenzie]

when you progress from using two hands to push off to one hand remember to switch hands to develop strength and balance evenly.

[wendyhannan]

Thanks Bob and Brad, I’m very happy to find your balance exercises, I’m starting today.
You two make exercise fun, I love your personalities. Cheers, and best wishes from Australia. 👍

Wow. thank you for doing these exercise videos. I retired and did not realize that your body "retires" too, unless you work it daily. So at 70, I am starting to do this. It went quickly, but is taking longer to get it back! Again, Kudu's for taking the time out of your day to do these video's!
