Thank you so very much! I have had a stroke...fully recovered. Fell and had a reverse shoulder replacement. Have been in therapy now for balance. You fellows are terrific! Keep up the good work. You're the best. Happy Holidays!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and professionalism. I am new to this exercises. I am 81 and feel a little bit off balance sometimes 😂❤

I find it helps me balance better if I pick a spot straight ahead and focus on that.

I’m 71 with two total knee replacements. Still practice Goju karate. I have balance issues if I think about my movements. I think subconsciously I don’t trust my store bought knees. Although they are almost as good as the ones Mom gave me. I just made the 4 shelf mat pads. I am adding this to my morning exercise regiment in the morning. Thanks guys.
