    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.

    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.
