I've been line dancing since 2009. Senior Center style, but it's easier than walking for 45 minutes! I highly recommend it. I'm 78 and doing great.

Brand new at this. I'm72 & having issues with my balance. I don't want it to become a problem. I like this program - so easy to follow...

Bob, I NEVER would have thought you are 60! I watch your videos daily as I am soon to be 80, and your videos help my balance. You two are great, love your Midwestern humor. Keep up the great work!

3:06 -- Hip abduction reps have helped me a lot, but I've also found if I do that movement isometrically, I see and feel results much more quickly. So I hold each leg out to my side as far as I can and HOLD IT for at least 10 seconds. Not only do these motions strengthen the muscles that raise one leg, but also all the muscles up and down the other leg and hip to stabilize my body as I raise the other leg. As soon as I step out of that, I feel much more sure-footed.

To take it another step farther, I hold each leg straight back for 10 seconds, squeezing all the muscles that require me to hold that position, then hold each leg straight in front for 10 seconds. After that, I feel like I could hike the Grand Canyon.

I need balance in my life✊😊 thank you bob and Brad have a great evening 👏

[cinnamongirl]

Great examples of balance exercises. I have my patients alternate legs when doing standing hip abduction, to get the added weight shifting benefit. To progress them, I have them externally rotate their foot and point to the floor while doing the hip abduction. Works the ankles and the LEs at the same time. Some people can not do the heel to toe/zig zag exercise while standing, so I start them in seated until they get the movement down.

The kareoke is actually "Zorba the Greek" famous Greek dance! They have lots of music videos to go with it, starting slow and then building up the tempo to where it is super fast. These dances are usually done in groups with others, at least 1 more person. A very fun dance and a workout.

[goldenoak]

Good show and practical advice! If they had actually partnered for the Polka dance it would have been the icing on top 😊
