These are by far the 4 best balance challenging activities for seniors to master. These are all balance challenging activities, which have been shown to be more effective than any other exercises in reducing falls and improving balance

Thank you for realistic exercises for and demonstrated by real seniors! Tired of seeing women in their 20’s who have obviously been practicing for years showing how to do exercises I haven’t been able to do for 20 years or so.

what I like about your channel, you have examples to what exercises that needs to be done.
And in the video you describe about the exercises. This will help those who need this help, like myself.
You wouldn't believe how many people "out in the public" who has Gait issues ( including myself ) .
I believe it's into hundreds of thousands throughout The USA.

My health took place back in 1982, very long story short, I broke both of my legs ( where my left leg end up having an "Pin" ( I call it a rod ) the length from my knee to my ankle, that's how long it is.
So I had 2 cast on and then I needed another surgery, fractured Right Hip .
My Right hip is Weak and I was told I have Trendelenburg Gait, from my Orthopedic Surgeon.
So now I Wobble side to side (like a penguin). I will need 2 knee replacements and Possibility Hip Surgery too.
Sad part, people watches others who has this, and I feel I'll never get to walk again "normal" .
It effects your physical and mental State .
Spent 2 months in the hospital, bedridden, then time later I went from bed to learning how to walk, which it was
the hardest thing, I ever done . Going from bed to wheelchair wasn't no fun . I did this for months, I taught myself
how to walk . I would get into wheelchair (locked ) my spouse would hold the wheelchair so I don't fall.
Then I would have the walker and try to stand, which I didn't stand for seconds, went back on to the wheelchair.
it took months to learn it. I didn't use my legs for 2 months, in the hospital.
Then, I went from Walker and for months too . overall almost a year later, I walked on my own .
In those days, I didn't know anything about PT, to help me. k

Know I'll back to trying to learn how to balance, Stretching and flexibility, legs and hip .

i have had several full hip replacements on both sites. These balance excercies helped me a lot in keeping balance (and avoiding falls)

Hi- I teach a “Balance in Motion” class to a group of 10 seniors- ages 72-90. I use a variety of tools like foam pads, cones and disks (like an obstacle course) and a variety on one leg stance exercises. We focus a lot of lateral movements as well as utilizing hurdles and ladders for floor work foot patterns.

I’ve never taught walking backwards. Do I instruct them to not look behind? One would think they must do that but then the body is oddly angled.

I see your were assisting the senior here with holding the arm, so it seems I must do that in order for them to look ahead.

Any tips? Thanks kindly.

Please don’t forget that standing on one leg you’re supposed to have nó artrose in your knee.
