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

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.

@jeanramirez349 2 года назад

That sounds GREAT! However your wife will come in and bitch at you for splattering the mirror!

@nancyjones2574 Год назад

That's a great idea...I also challenge myself to brush my teeth with my weaker hand.

@cynthiahawkins2389 6 лет назад

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.

@sherrydropauer1518 2 года назад

This has happened to Me also!!!! And my hearing was ok

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.

@zzc8505 Год назад

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

@@karensees9667 Because I live in Wyoming where we have 7 months of winter, 100+ inches of snow some winters and LOTS of ice everywhere.

I've found walking on ice is easiest & safest in tiny steps. I'm sure you already know having the correct footwear for you also makes a difference. ☮️💕🙏🏼

@megmc9644 Год назад

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

@lynndebeal6126 5 лет назад

Thank you. Great exercises. I have neuropathy in my feet. Both feet were crushed between the metal plate of my power chair and the back wheel of a four door sedan. Now the only thing I feel on the bottom of my feet is the sensation of them being covered in sand and pain. Thanks so a “hit & run” driver. This has thrown my balance waaay off. I’m already dealing with a curvature of the spine. And was protecting myself forward while walking. I use a walker at times. And am on 4 liters of oxygen when walking. My balance being out of wack seems to make me dependent on which ever way my body is falling when it comes to the direction I walk. Which makes for a very wobbly gait. Any suggestions of exercises that might help? Thank you.

@fitnessfriend9710 3 года назад

@susanbehring3401 4 года назад

Do these work for people with Osteoporosis too?

@fitnessfriend9710 3 года назад

They should be! There's always risks, but these are low risk from a falling perspective. The way you do the exercise will affect your results. Try to feel the muscles around the joints bearing the weight, not the joint or tendons so much. It should feel challenging but not painful or overly restricted. DM me to talk more :)
