Great video. Brad's audio level is good but Mike's audio level is kinda low.

Please give Bob our love, and our prayers continue for him. Maybe occasionally he could stick his arm in a shot "directing" you two so we can smile and feel his presence there. Dennis Prager's assistant is famous for handing him things during his Fireside Chats and is credited as "Megan's Arm" in the show which is both uplifting humor and a bit of fun. Thank you for all you do! You are ALL so appreciated!❤

When I realized how poor my sense of balance had become, I found some balance workouts that were so easy and fun. I recovered my balance within just a few weeks. Thanks for the video!

Love you Mike! Thank you for sitting in for Bob and giving us your wonderful advice!! We appreciate you!! Thank you Bob, Brad and Mike for always talking about what we need.

This is a good reminder about balance. I used to do line dancing. Crossing over the feet, walking backwards, stepping side to side etc. weren't an issue then. Maybe I need to go back to doing that at home. It was fun! 😊❤️

[Rositasparks]

Thank for all the effort you put into these videos. They are so incredibly helpful ❤

[francestorrez]

Can you give us an update on Bob? Hope he’s OK praying for him🙏🙏🙏💙

[francestorrez]

Can you give us a update on Bob? How is he doing? Miss him so much.

I’ve just completed 3 months of PT for my recently diagnosed Degenerative Scoliosis. It has helped tremendously, and I am now walking between 7K and 9K steps a day, something I haven’t done in at least 10-15 years! I really appreciate this video because the last two exercises you demonstrate are new to me, so I plan to incorporate them into my routine, as well!
Thanks again! Hope Bob is doing well! ❤️🙏🏻

[celestebarrentine]

Thank you so much for these exercises and reminders. I have become less active in my early 60's and am beginning to feel the effects. These may seem simple, but in reality are so important for maintaining, as well as increasing, our abilities.😊

[pamelamcgrath]

You guys are heaven sent. Thanks so much for this excellent info on balance.
What a relief to know this is part of the challenge of aging.

[OdetteAbrahamian]

Very balanced balancing lessons, no one could have done any better, thanks a lot, dear teachers.

Ok guys. For 7 years now at 73, I was very wobbly and hard walking safely.
Three weeks ago I got junk in my left ear and went to Guidewell EC to have it looked at.
YES And they cleaned out that ear, and when they cleaned out the right ear, which looked fine, a huge chunk of dead wax came out very very very very deep. It was spooky We were all surprised. I went home that night. Went to sleep got up next morning and I can walk just fine. All the people that I have spoken to about this or surprise, they have never thought about it. And we’re not talking old people we’re talking people people. So I would strongly reiterate this to your listeners. Good stuff. Take care.

[janetgablecull]

Thanks to all three of you. I appreciate all that you do, and I appreciate the new guy who stepped right in and is also so helpful.

My husband, a week after I saw your latest video, suffered from vertigo (it was real bad). I remembered your videos on this and played them for him so he could better understand how to use the methods given. We went to the hospital and he underwent several test's and in the end concluded that this is what he had. He was reassured that the methods that we started was what he had to do. This was scary for him and he now knows what to do if this occurs again.

[LucyHernandez-xyty]

Thank you guys .
I did all an past with not problems and I’m 73.❤❤

We went back to line dancing after many years away from it. We are lucky to have classes at our senior centers and a few other organizations. Balance now is amazing and it’s so much fun.

[brendadickenson]

Added this to my exercise list. I am 72 and fell in the bathroom ..scary! But not hurt. It does make think I need more exercise for this balance. Mom fell and broke her hip in her nineties and she was an avid walker but just turned to get light off and fell on her tile floor on the floor! A long recovery at that age

For some reason Mike's microphone level is set much lower that is Brad's microphone. If we turn up the volume to hear Mike, Brad comes blaring through at high volume. The video editing software used on this, should let you raise Mike's audio level to match Brad's.
Also, Mike mentioned that “We do have a video called: Understanding Causes of Dizziness and Vertigo All You Need to Know, and we’ll link that down below. Ahh, but where is the link?
