The problem I have with a lot of these senior-targeted videos is that the instructor is chirpy-syrupy-sweet and thinks cheering us on like we're dim four year olds is going to inspire us. Nothing could be further from the truth! Jessica treats us like ADULTS, doesn't waste time with chirpy platitudes, and respects the fact that we are going to be at different levels of ability. This is the first video I have WANTED to use and have used repeatedly. Kudos to Jessica!

I am 21 with terrible balance and I also appreciate this!

I am almost 89 years old and I must tell you ,I love this exercise.I do not have any problem to keep up with you.During the Covid I stop going to my regular exercises and I got kind of “rusty!” but I didn’t give up my every day 40 or more minutes walking. Thank you for encouraging !Best wishes from your new subscriber from Canada B.C. 🇨🇦🇭🇷🙏🫶

Excellent presentation. I'm 73 and I just had partial knee replacement and discovered I now have balance issues. I love the calmness and quiet encouragement, and I'm now doing this every day. This is the first video I've "Liked" and well deserved.

I am 72 and discovered I started to feeling balance issues, when I broken my left ankle, two surgeries same foot right and left side.👊👊

I’m 35, and had always been active throughout my life; a swimmer in high school. And I am unable to do the calf crunches in the beginning of the video with my eyes closed unfortunately. “A body in motion stays in motion.” Thank you for sharing this video, excellent presentation.

I've watched a million balance exercises, and yours is the only one I do. You don't waste time yapping about your credentials and explaining your program. We start moving and you explain as we go. A great time saver for me and very beneficial!

Oh this was exactly what I needed. Had surgery and on crutches for 6 weeks. Limited mobility for a year. This massaged my joints.

Over 70 with osteoporosis. Balance training is crucial! Thank you!

Thanks, angel ❤

I really glad I found this. I am 90 years old and these exercises help me. I can stand 4 seconds on one leg but still wobbly so I have a long way to go. I am, trying hard to do this every day and I hope in a few months I can report some progress. Thank you.

80 years old with RA have been exercising all my life and suitor Sutton my right leg had no balance and your exercise helping me a lot Thank you

I've had a brain aneurysm which jas effected my bakance . Brilliant exercises . Thankyooo

Very grateful to you Jessica for sharing your expertise on balance exercise. I am in my mid 50s, and lately I have been taking balance exercise seriously and I am helping other seniors to improve their balancing

This is the best balance exercise I ever tried. You are very patient and step by step that guides us through. The BEST 😮

Brilliant. My wife and I are in our late 70s and our experiences over the past few years has deprived us of a level of fitness. My wife has been doing this for a couple of months and her balance has improved immensely. I have now started and I feel confident it will help. Good balance is key to remaining fit.

Thank you so much for sharing and your time to make this video. May it come back to you multiplied!

Thank you for sharing your excersies with so much of explaining.I need it desperately for my imbalance.On 67yrs with my full thyroid removed.

Perfect, just what I needed, and great length. Thanks 🙏

Thank you Jessica for this video. This is exatly what i need at the time being. I do these exercises every day.

Thank you, Jessica ! This Video (2 rounds of it) is my every morning companion while doing my mobility and strength exercises. Love your calm and gentle company ;-) Your voice is what keeps me going every day.

Superb 👏 I live with MS & do similar exercises when with an MS PT, or at home by myself. These are brilliant! Thank you 👍

Great video. I like the fact that you encourage people to close our eyes as this is not often mentioned and does add a challenge. I've seen an improvement in my balance. Thank you.

Great balance for seniors like. I have included this exercise in my daily routine. Thank you so much mdm.🎉

Thank you. If practiced regularly and mindfully these exercises will help bring about standing balance

I'm 77,had to stop running last year due to Osteoarthritis in one knee,I'm getting on great with long walks and my exercise machines.Started this program because the leg which has the foot bunion is not too strong at balancing although I have been practicing for a while.I think this will help a lot,thank you.

Thank you for this set of balance exercises. I have broken my left ankle twice and then had a grade 2 sprain. This was very helpful in working on my balance.

Thank you Jessica, Love your routines exercises!

Your balance exercise video is very helpful for old people, thank you so much..🙏🙏

Thank you for this! Will be doing this again!

I love it that you get straight to the point. Great video! Thank you!

Thank you Jessica. Considering how dangerous falling are for seniors it hard not to use this video on a daily basis.

This is just what I need! A well explained balance exercise I can do daily that doesn't eat up too much time. Thank you, Jessica.

I will turn 73 next Saturday 0ct 28, I used to do Mr. Moy Taichi and i am doing some of these exercises every day but will start to practice all of them tomorrow . Thank you.❤

Hi Jessica. Just yesterday I "discovered" this exercise. Today I did it for the first time. I'm suffering from Parkinson's for a long time. I'm 77 years old. My stability gets worse. Now I'm at the point where walking stick is not enough and I'm using a rollator. Still I walk very slow and unstable. I already used other trainers videos with no improvement. This video of yours made a good impression. I indend to do it daily. BTW my arms and legs are strong, still the lack of stability causes major walking problems. If you provide me with an advice as to what exercise videos of yours I should use, I'll highly appreciate. Thanks.

Thank you for your balance exercises. I am 78 years old. I had a spinal fusion 4th & 5th vertebrae. I also had both knees and hips full replacement. Are all these exercises good for me please? My balance is really bad.

This video is exactly what I have been looking for. I have low vision AND have been recovering from a broken ankle. These exercises would have been a great addition to my physical therapy but will be a great help now!

@@JessicaValantPilates will these exercises help if I don’t have real balance issues. But I find when I do exercises that include squats and lifting my knee I lose my balance. I never noticed it before. So will these exercises help for such a thing?

Thanks for the balance exercises ❤

From another 75+, The reason for couch potato is different from what you mentioned. It’s mindset, living with son, - first is dependability, sons are supposed to take care of parents. - watching videos are more interesting, is urge creator leads to habituation & couch is cosy. - pseudo depression due to not in control of mind, always diverting from what you want to do and not being done. Sometimes done at last moment or not done at all. And that create more depression, I call it recursive depression. I have most of this, except I do not live with my son. I have important expiry dates for chores on Dec 7, 14 & daily. Cardio Walk 4+ km/50 minutes I would do 2, 3 days/week, this week FOCUSSED for 6 days/week I need to gain muscles mass & gain 10 Kg weight. Yesterday I did some streching, but I don’t have balance of standing on each leg. So, I need to FOCUS on body building. Overall, we NEED FOCUS & ACTION, by self, no dependability. Though I am PARTIALLY FOCUSSED ON SOME - I coaxed myself into this some time back - cook my own food, gourmet too, all natural, NO canned/processed/microwaved/pressure cooked/plastic containers/non vegetarian Healthy selective products conducive to Diabetes-2, Hypertension, Coronary disease, salads, veggies, fruits, legumes, dairy,evoo The daily one, Today I woke up at 5:30 am, slept last night at 10:30 pm, FIRST TIME trying for it for many moons, because the idea was perpetual & last night, I had a FOCUSSED MOMENT, to lie down under cosy blanket. So, you get some idea, what I am talking about. To boost yourself by yourself one of the MOST IMPORTANT FOCUSING TRAIT IS TO KEEP SELF MENTALLY ACTIVE PRODUCTIVELY. - Think about your achievements during your productive era, and in today’s word explore how would you enhance them. That with lead you to mental exploration mode about the lifestyle around - even take you out for gardening to start with. Just imagine you can grow your own organic produce much better, fresh & cheaper than the one from market. You would save the carbon imprints too. I am in the process of designing & building self sustaining Food Jungle on 3000 sq feet more reclaiming 3 lawns. I already have an orchard covering 1000 sq feet developed some 40 years ago, totally organic, no chemicals, not even insecticides & pesticides. Best Wishes. 💐💕🎶🎉 🙏अश्वनी

I love your video for balance exercises.... Thank you so much 💕

Perfect! I’m a below knee amputee. This helps so much!

Thank you so much for this video and exercises.

Thank you so much you are awesome

Wonderful workout so simple but so effective thank you Jessica

These exercises will help me when skate skiing. I have trouble getting a proper weight shift so I can get a long glide on one leg. Younger skiers get a much longer glide. The balancing on one leg is tough--30 to 45 seconds and very wobbly. My only restriction is that I wear shoes for all these exercises, due to a painful neuroma on the left foot.

This makes me realize how bad my balances, thank you!

These are excellent! I just started doing balance exercises a week ago and am looking for more things to add on. I’ve been a tripper my entire life and it hasn’t gotten any better so I’m hoping these will do the trick!

Thank you Jessica.

Greetings you have so much patience im in my late 50 im so grateful thankyou so much.

Thanks Jessica for demo EXERCISES 🎉🎉

This is really great. Thank you very much.

Great workout, first time and it felt good. You've given me something to work towards and I thank you.

You are amazing thank you❤

Great video! These exercises I really needed as I continue to age. Thanks you for being so calm and inspiring.

Thanks I will add it these to my routine

I’m almost 70 Nd i saw your video. I will try to do this. Thank you for sharing. I hope to see other exersices to follow so i’m your new subscriber now☺️💗

Excellent advice. Thank you.

This was great, thank you! I was wondering if you had that reference for the paper you mentioned at the beginning? I'm a Physiotherapy student in the UK, doing a Master's research paper on balance impairments in people with chronic breathlessness, and would be quite interested to read that :)

Excellent, I’m 72 I really need this thank you.

My Cardiologist put a heart monitor on me to see if it's my heart that causes me to fall. I had issues with Vertigo off and on but something else is going on cause I wasn't dizzy this last 2 falls. Bless you for sharing to give me something to try. Long story trying to be short.

I enjoy doing this practice everyday.

Thanks. A good set of exercises. Despite being fairly fit in my mid 60s there is always scope to improve balance especially with the closed eyes progression. Sue x
