My balance has been off, for a few years. 5 mini strokes. Out of the blue, this vid came up. New sub, here. Thank you!

Your video on balance exercises at home is excellent. Our clinic performs data metrics on balance especially for seniors, and your absolutely right to add more arm movements in the corner to allow the brain to get more comfortable with changes in positions, therefore improving your response time if you feel unstable. Thank you for these amazing tips for your viewers.

I teach seniors chair yoga! I will try this in my class. Thank you. ☺️

With your valuable guidance I am stepping without railing support.Your video s are giving me a new life 🧬. Enjoying the walking.Improved walking style.thank you very much 😊

Because of a tragic all on frozen concrete in 2003, I started using a walker, then 2 canes. But I have completely lost my equilibrium or blance.I feel stupid being days away from 76 and having had such an active walking & moving life. I hope to use your program and any others because I feel like a little child, first learning to walk alone without mommy's hand. Thank you! I have an active mind and a body that has danced, climbed on things, lifted and walked at the same time, and used to swim every day.

Thanks for some additional balance exercises to add to regime. Closing eyes is a biggy for me I discovered just how much I relied on vision for stability. Also had me realize why I get a fear of falling when looking out and down from a height, even steps with gaps between used to disorientate me if I looked at the space not step.

I knew my balance was suspect, but one night I had to leave a concert hall early to catch a train. The lights were low and I had to descend some very wide steps with no support. I was actually scared, and sure enough I went down. No injury, I picked myself up and fortunately managed the rest of the steps on my feet, albeit wobbly. I need this!!

Thank you. I have titanium implants in my big toes. My toes are also shorter now because of the surgery and the 2nd toe is much longer. Also, both big toes float about 1/3" off the floor when standing and most of walking. This effects my balance greatly. As I age (I'm 71) and I worry about falling because of my bad balance. Any advise?

Standing on a thick exercise pad (sometimes called a yoga pad) is a great exercise. It improves balance and strengthens the feet and ankle muscles. Do it barefoot AND with shoes.

Where can you buy that pad

Nice try, but I can neither do a Romberg 3 nor 4, period, due to two strokes. Around the house I tend to have balance issues walking with small steps; outside, with larger steps, to so much balance challenge.

Thanks Alyssa! I had to laugh ~ I've been doing the one leg stand while waiting for the washer to stop, thinking I was doing something great for my balance! Time for me to up my game - I'm 75 y.o. and definitely know the importance of good balance!! I really like your style ~ you are very easy to listen to. May thanks and have a great day!

I'm 73 I walk 2-4 dogs at a time. 2 weeks ago one walked in front of me, I just continued momentum. I crashed on my right hand little finger, corner of eyeglasses and right hip. Fractured Little finger still very painful. I thought of you on the dazzed walk back home

Dog walking is a challenge in itself for anyone. The only difference being that in advanced age a fall may have grave consequences. Did fall myself not for once, had a fractured finger phalanx. A couple of days ago bruised my elbow. But nothing worse.

Your shoes look supportive and flat and sturdy. What kind are they? Thanks

I am 75, I got drop foot, I walk with walking poles down my driveway.

Great for neuropathy or immobilized legs. She has the legs of a professional sprinter, guessing she never passes on "leg days".

Great ideas, but add a leg going back to bring us into another plane. This comes closer to simulating a fall

Why is that, why does balance change the moment you close your eyes? Does that hold true for blind people? Do blind people have balance issues?

Standing on one leg strengthens your leg muscles

Which one is the one trick? Is it necessary to stand in corner? Thank you.
