I’m 83 and don’t need a cane, but these exercises are really helpful. Thanks, guys. You are the greatest! 💕

I am 70, my older neighbor calls me, a "junior senior"..I walk a lot, live in a walk up building with no elevator, am of normal weight, and eat healthy (no tobacco, or alcohol, either). However, I noticed after a very bad bout with the flu last year, I suffered from post viral fatigue, AND a new issue: some dizziness, and weird unsteadiness at times. These exercises are wonderful. I will work them into my daily routine...thank you.

Me too and I also am fit and dance a lot, and my hearing is OK. I did suffer bad flu-type side effects from the covid vaccinations 🤔 My balance has gone from excellent to rubbish by comparison.

Standing on one foot and brushing your teeth at the same time is an example of dual-task gait activity. It does not only shows patient's great balance and musculoskeletal mastery but also resistance to the development of cognitive impairment. Great video Bob & Brad!! Thanks.

That's a great idea...I also challenge myself to brush my teeth with my weaker hand.
I did some of these with my 91-year old father, who has fallen. No serious injuries, fortunately. He was nervous at first doing these, but felt safe and challenged. Thank you!

As a physical therapist that works with a lot of elder struggling with balance here's another video you might find useful for your mom. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2Rt0qOEZLKdYLw.html
1. Chair with armrests: feel with back of leg, reach back for armrest--both arms, one arm, no armrests. 2. Marching 3. Hold chair back/countertop & swing leg sideways with foot flexed. 4. Hip extension backwards. 5. Heel & toe lifts. 6. Balance on 1 foot, holding chair back/countertop with both hands, 1 hand, fingertips, 1 finger or none 7. In-line walk forward & backwards. 8. Twist between chairs/countertop, then on 1 leg, look over your shoulder

Thanks for the summary. Very helpful!
Thank you for this. At 59 I already have a minor balance problem so anything I can use as prevention is a big help.
Great talk and demonstration ❤️
This is GOLD!! This is literally what I was struggling with during my first internship in the SNF setting... thank you so much for your help!
Omg! I NEEDED this so much. I'm 53 now and have issues with my balance. Will be doing these today... These funny guys are my Dr's always. A practitioner in my area would try to put me on Drugs for my balance...🤔 I Don't think so. All blessings to you B & B

You need real resistance training to strengthen everything. Pretty much anyone at any age can do resistance training according to one’s level. Also check out KneesOverToes guy - his program helps many and it can be scaled down according to one’s level

I live with my grandma and she recently retired so thank you so much for teaching me methods of how to keep her agile and mobile while she’s not working!!!!! Im doing a bit of research on elderly safe “excersize” routines because she is in her 70s after all but any activity is good activity ❤❤❤❤

Love your videos. I have three family members and friends who have had falls in the last year that resulted in wrist, knee or ankle breaks. I am passing this video along to everyone!
Had surgery ten years ago on both feet and my balance is shot. I walk sometimes like I’ve had too much to drink. I don’t drink. I’ll work on these exercises.
Thank you Bob and Brad.

Great variety of balance exercises, I take a class called strong and steady , our instructor is a physical therapist and a yoga instructor and we do most of these same moves . But you added a few more which is very helpful 👍

These are good! I started going to PT for my arthritis knees this week and have been doing the first one standing and sitting on the chair without putting any weight on hand(s). I did the toe raises in PT in 1989 when I went for recovery after healing of broken ankle surgery.

Thank you for these balance exercises...I have had balance issues for several years now and fell 3 times....
This is a great video for developing those pesky muscles that just aren't what they used to be. I am 5' 8" and put those 4" plastic risers under my favorite couch, and under my bed legs. What a difference! Standing up is so much easier now.
Good Job!!!
Wow,this is such great info. My Mom is 92 and had a myriad of balance issues and falling and I could not get her to move more and exercise and unfortunately, the results are not good now. I do not want to follow in her footsteps so I am going to try to do everything I can to combat balance issues, etc so I can continue to move as much as possible as I age. Thank you for sharing your expertise to help us. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this!!!! God bless.

Thx for the video my dad really needs it . Brad , it's called multiple tasking . ☺
I’ve noticed that climbing a two or three steep ladders has become harder as I become older. I’m hoping that by incorporating these exercises it will make climbing easier. Thanks
I love you both, from Brazyl!!! Thank you
Great stuff!
Thank you again. I am 77 and do similar exercises daily. I also use a Bosu as well as Airex balance pads. You guys are great!
