Hey, I’m not a senior but this video is actually so helpful. I wanted to start working on my stability while I’m young so I can stay strong while I grow older, and this video helps. I’m actually 17, but I can feel how unstable my body is when I do these exercises. I can’t wait to get more stable and strong. :)

So true Ruth!!!

How ironic that you developed this balance exercise for us Seniors. I've been in PT for 2mos for hip impingement & BALANCE issues! I never knew that, because the right side of my glutes are weak, it impairs my balance & walking. It's what I need to continue to strengthen. Thank you, Lauren, for ALWAYS considering our needs.

Hi Lauren. Unfortunately our weather has turned cold, leaving me in a Fibromyalgia flare. I needed to do a workout, so I thought I'd try this. Great as always. The strange thing is, when we were walking heel toe, for some reason, it was easier going backwards. It must just be me. I usually do balance exercises while brushing my teeth. I never want to have a fall. Thank you for this short and effect balance workout. 😊❤

Are you able to create a video for strength training combined with balance on a Bosu ball? The current Bosu ball workouts on KZread are not that good/inspiring. I'd love it if you'd add one sometime!

As a 68 year old with MS my balance is awful to say the least. My left side is so much weaker than the right and I tend to drop the left when walking.
