I came across this video when searching for ways to strengthen my legs after knee replacement surgery, when I literally couldn't walk more than a block. I do regular cardio workouts, but that didn't really help my legs. Well, this video is fantastic!! I have been doing these exercise (in addition to the regular cardio) at least 3 times a week, for about a month now - and what a difference it has already made! I can literally feel my legs getting stronger! And my balance is much, much improved! Thank you, Jenny!!
Amazing to hear Nikki! Keep up the great work! Thanks for being a subscriber.

I am 74 and from Manchester UK. Enjoying Jenny's workouts during the lockdown. Keep them going. Thank you Carol
OMG - You must do this video! I didn’t realize how much work I needed to do on my balance, as an older person, until I tried this video. My list of daily Jenny videos just got longer! Thanks Jenny, this is so important.
Your exercises are just what I needed as I am 84 and since COVID happened I began losing my balance and wondered if I was crazy to have lost so much of my ability to move around such as just normal walking and keeping my balance when doing so. I sometimes feel like I’m afraid to even go out alone without someone to assist me in case I were to lose my balance and fall 😭
I've been working out to many of your videos for almost 2 years now. Frankly, on the bad days, you are my reason for getting off my ... and moving. You make the world a calmer, healthier place Jenny. Thank you so much.
I have been doing this routine 2 times a week for months--thank you Jenny!
It is a time of sunshine to exercise with you!
Yes! I need this and can already tell an improvement in doing this for 3 weeks! I hope you’ll do another video! I’m a fan of your workouts!
I am 97 years old male and have tried numerous balance exercises without much improvement. Then, I found your group of exercises which slowly progresses from one stage to the next. Now, I have improved a great deal and appreciate very much your help. Cecil
Cecil, that is truly amazing! You are an inspiration! I love your motivation! Thank you so much for sharing your comment with me!
I never exercise before..but I knew i have to start somehow. Your videos are easy to follow and you are a very good instructor. Thank you so much.
These exercises were excellent. I fall often because my legs are week and I can see the difference since I stared doing your exercises. Thanks.
Thank you for these exercised! I’m doing the leg strength I got and 10balance exercises every day! I’m 84 and have had 2hip replacement s and 2 knee replacement plus broke my ankle and have metal there! I need lots of your exercises to get stronger. Been doing them for 4 months now! Progress is slow , but I try to do them 5 times a week! Thank you for caring about us seniors!
Wow, Charlene! I hope others read your comment. What an inspiration you are!! Thank you so much for sharing this! Keep up the great work!! Glad we connected!

O
Yes….I am having ankle and balance issues and this is my first time doing those exercises…..I love it…
Hello from Wales; UK. Tried this for the first time today. Doing me good at 75. Thank you Jenny 🤗
I workout on the treadmill and also kayak. But holy cow this showed me something else I need to do to maintain my independence while aging. Thank you for this--
I've watch your other videos, especially during this lock down, and I really do enjoy them. This is a great one to work on balance. I did try to challenge myself as you said. Thanks so much for doing these for us. Stay well and stay safe.

Hi Jenny Thanks for your clear & thorough explanations about balance. I've long been able to balance on one leg for as long as you like...but! Now I discover the addition of raising on tiptoes, do-able with a bit of a wobble. And moving the head, woo woh wobble, even on two feet in tandem stance! You have given me a great addition to my exercise sessions.
Your workouts are great! Balance and flexibility is so important as we age. Would love to see more workouts on both. Thank you Jenny,
I thought I was good at balancing until I tried your session. Haven't done these moves before but will be doing them a lot from now on. Thank you.
I did a lot of these when I got stopped for DUI. Good thing I had watched this video and practiced.
I thought I was in quite good shape for my age. WRONG. Everyday I do one of your videos. Admittedly I should probably do two, but everyday I'm feeling better, stronger, fitter. Thank you so much.
I love this workout even though I’m doing it in a bedroom in a dark damp Cambridgeshire England rather than sunny southern USA. Thanks so much superJen!
It came as a surprise to me that balance was more difficult than I realized. Some of these revealed the need to give more time and effort to balancing exercises. These are so practical and can be carried out with limited space in the comfort of home. To engage in these are now going to be in my select exercises for balancing. Many thanks to Jenny for sharing, to who knows how many on youTube. I am glad to have come across this video.
You are so correct. I have been doing this workout at least once a week for 4 months. Noticeable improvement in my balance. Cannot recommend this video enough. Love all your videos. 🥰
I am so happy to read this Kay! If we train the body, it will react! Thank you for sharing this with me! Glad we connected.

Hi jenny, just found your beginners exercise again and also the chair exercise, love your dog. I am 70 years young, we are still in stage 4 lockdown, have been months, in Melbourne, Australia. Your backyard reminds me of my visits to South Carolina. Thanks
Thank you Jenny....loved that vidéo...I'm 70...french living in Rio de Janeiro....I do classical ballet and really need that balance....tks God I found you....!!!!!
Que maneiro, fala português?
Loved your exercise routine. I'm 81 years old and Won't g to my YMCA right now, use to exercising every day with classes. ≈ Definitely needed this balance class. Thanks😀
Love your videos. Being 76 need the balance video and has helped. So keep on producing those great videos. Think my husband MIke and I have been through all of them for variation in our daily workout. You are easy to listen to and give great on time directions. We never feel left out and you come across as so helpful and sincere which we so need during this time of chaos and lies from our federal government. Keep’um coming!!!! You are a ten star!!!!!
These are fabulous. My balance has deteriorated over the past few years and I have struggled to find effective exercises. I can practice these everywhere, which is great. Your 35 minute interval for us old geezers is wonderful, as well.
Well said!
Thank you so much for this program. I began using it several years ago, after suffering 2 falls and 2 fractured arms. My doctor just praised me for using your balancing program. Great news to get at my age of 87. Thank you so much for your video help.
Dear Jenny
A brain stroke caused me to lose my balance 4 years ago. The first exercise I did with you today felt great. Hopefully, I will be able to improve my balance soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in this video. Although I live in Croatia, I was privileged to have you in my living room today as my coach, something I find more than beautiful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! At 72 this is exactly what I need--balance exercises. While I deplore the need to be isolated, this time has allowed me the time to take care of myself by exercising. I like both your yoga and aerobic videos also.
Balance Exercises By Jenny McClenden
This balance video is great! I come back to it all the time. I have noticed a great improvement in my balance as I have watched so many of your videos during this time of quarantine. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
This is wonderful. I am 68 years old and balance has been an issue for me lately. These are great exercises and I appreciate your positivety! Will continue doing these-thanks!!!!
Jenny, thanks for this. It is a game changer. My wife and I are 73 and try to do this every day.
I do have a tip that I am finding useful. With the 3rd stage of single leg stance, the tip toe is nearly impossible, but I can raise up and down, on each toe for a second or two and I am getting longer on tip toe.
I did have an incident, and thought of you. I was on a step ladder looking intently at what a worker was doing and talking to him. When I backed off the ladder, I stepped on his tool belt. Two months previous I would have fallen. I did not because of this video.

Joe - that is great news! Thank you so much for sharing this with me!

We are enjoying the challenge of your workouts in our lounge room in Melbourne, Australia. Thank you. Lorraine & Keely
At 71 I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I need all the exercise I can possibly get to help with balance. After doing your exercise I was really sore. So Ive used muscles that I haven't used in awhile. Will definitely be doing your video several times a week. Thanks for your concern in senior citizens and anybody with balance issues.
Oh, I am glad to read this Sharon! So glad we connected. I am committed to making videos for y'all - brings me joy to spread some healthy cheer to those at home. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you Jenny for your videos. These are difficult times and following your routines was a great way for my 70+ year old mum to stay fit. She enjoys doing them. Keep em coming.
That is so great to hear! These sure are difficult times - You are very welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback! And, thanks for being a subscriber!
Another great one Jenny! Your workouts have been really helping to keep strong while waiting for this knee replacement! I’m 72 and generally healthy and have been working out for years as you know being in lockdown is really hard!!
That is so great to hear Elaine! Yes, these are great post knee surgery. Yes, lockdown is so very hard. I love your motivation to keep working out while at home. Keep up the great work! Thanks for the positive comment. Now that I am home, I'll be posting new videos often. Click the red subscribe button and then you will get notifications every time I upload a new video. Stay safe!!
Just did this balance workout for about the 20 th time. Such a wonderful and necessary workout! You are nearly the only one devoting an entire workout to this issue. My balance, at 73, has improved so much. Especially important since my balance today is not as good as 20 years ago. You’ve been such wonderful find during COVID. Thanks 😊 y
Great to hear!
I found your boxing video yesterday and I was delighted!!!! I was taking Rock Steady Boxing classes ; however they were canceled
due to the pandemic. Thanks so much for a GREAT class!
These exercises were brilliant! I was shocked that I could not keep my balance on all the pieces.
I started doung your exercises in my front room, after a week a friend joined me and now my husband is doing them with me as well. Thank you Jenny from down under.
That is awesome Mishy! Love to hear that your husband does them with you! You are welcome - and thanks for your positive comment!
I struggle with balance and have been using a few of your training videos. Thanks so very much! The ocean front videos are some of my favorites. Hope 2022 is healthy for all of us.

Another excellent exercise for the seniors! Thank you.
These are the exercises I need to do every day!!! As a person of 72 with dyspraxia I have had challenges with balance all my life!! Tandem standing and walking were particularly challenging but I am delighted to find a set of exercises and a cheery instructor to pep me up and get me working on this during lockdown. Thank You!

Thank you! This was fantastic! I fell in the early summer, tearing my abductors and adductors; when to PT for about 10-12 weeks until better. Yet, this is exactly what I need to help me keep up what they taught me! Thank you, again, for making this free and possible to keep on keeping on!
Excellent balancing exercises. Recovering from a recent hip replacement and find these very helpful.

Had my 50th birthday last year and determined to become healthier after dealing with a year of gallbladder issues then surgery...I took this as a wake up call for my diet and lifestyle. I went back to the YMCA using weights, walk nature trails for cardio, but I needed something for balance (the wellness coaches didn't have much I can do for that..what they showed me was too advanced). So glad I found your channel and putting this one in my workout playlist.😊
jenny i am from india and me and my hubby love the way you teach and we follow you togather . its good feeling when u encourage . love the energy and concern you have to people . god bless you . thanks will continue to do with you the work outs . can you also release a zumba work out for us at 50 pls . would be intersting

Thanks again Jenny, one good thing to come out of lockdown has been discovering you. Whichever video I have looked it has just been perfect for me. I am a very fit 75, but of course have a few stiffness and balance problems that develop with age. Hopefully I will come out of confinement a new woman. Many thanks to you, lovely to see your smiling face and positivity.

I just love reading everyone’s comments...so encouraging and international!!! I’m so glad I found you! You offer sooooo many videos that address a myriad of concerns. My balance is awful and two years ago I was diagnosed with osteoporosis because my cancer treatment depleted my body of vitamin D. So as spastic as I am anyway, now the fear of breaking a bone is a real concern. You make all of us feel like we can participate, the level doesn’t matter as long as you keep moving! Some of these movements were challenging for me, but also gives me a workable goal. In a world of exercise videos where I often feel left behind, you encourage me all the way. Thank you again for all you do!💪🏻🙏🏼🙌🏻🤩💗
Oh, good! I am so glad to hear this Angela! I love you comment so much! You are very welcome!

Am on week 9 of doing the workouts in the UK and I really like being able to mix and match. Blood pressure is down, arthritic knees are less dodgy and wobbly bits less wobbly! I think it’s working. Thanks Jenny. Would love a dance workout.

I had spine surgery last year on my lumbar spine then 11 months ago on my cervical which was the cause of my stiff legs, vertigo, and worst balance . I had been with physiotherapy twice and I feel of no progress. My quality of life has changed and I feel miserable. I read about vertigo and balance are side effects of cervical as per study made to people that had undergone cervical surgeries after 10 years ago. These are what affected me…vertigo and bad balance. Until I was led to your video exercise last nite . I did it today and I felt so good after and mostly it gave me full of hope. Thank you.
Very thankful to Jenny! Love it! Balancing better each time. So appreciative!
So glad!
Thank you so much Jenny. I am 62 yo with poor balance. I fall a lot. Will do this every day. Love from Canada
fantastic! I am 75 years old and a YMCA member,using all their equipment. The strength I have in my legs permitted me to do the highest level the first time! I was amazed that it felt like I burned lots !of calories, getting my heart rate up!I so appreciate you

This is great! With Acoustic Neuroma I lost much of my balance and hearing already. I’ve been doing these every day and they are helping my left side to take over the right. After my surgery I should be ahead of the balance game. Thanks!
I have always been an active athletic woman but age came along, thankfully, and I really needed to do balancing and you are wonderful. Thank you

I’m a 64 year old retiree from California. I love all your videos as it is perfect for my ability as a senior. I also have plantar fasciitis and a big bunion and flat footed. I know the hamstrings are good exercise for plantar. Wondering if there are other exercises for this type of feet condition. Thank you so much for all your videos especially at this time when gyms are close. More blessings and power to you.
Hi! Yeah, that's a lot of foot issues. As I am sure you know, proper footwear and perhaps orthotic insoles a must. But, as far as exercises, I would stretch the heel and calf muscles 3 times a day. And, freeze a bottle of water and roll your foot on it 3 times a day. Hope that helps some! Thanks for the feedback - you are very welcome.
From Bangalore, India. Thank you Jenny for coming up with this novel balancing exercises. I have been recommending your workouts to my friends and they are indeed finding it very helpful. Please continue to keep us fit and strong!
I'm glad I found you, great exercise routine for me. a motorcycle trials riding enthusiast at 73.

Hi Jenny, I am 56 years old and love your videos! I have tried many other online workouts and yours is the best. I am in good shape but the other videos often leave me with back pain or other problems. After I heal I always come back to you! I am sticking with Jenny! God bless you!
I am so glad we connected Diane! As a Physical Therapist for over 20 years, I make safety my biggest priority!
I’ve been doing balance exercises for months prescribed by my PT, but not nearly as comprehensive as these. I’m fine with standing on one leg but adding in other distractions makes it much more difficult. I definitely need to add this into my regular rotation.
The step back is basically an easy version of a backward lunge, isn’t it? Much easier to do when not called lunges! 😉
Thanks!
Thanks Jenny I think this video will help for my balance problem. For last four I am trying to recover from balance problem . Now I feel with PRACTICING these exercises I can walk steadily. Thanks
I sure hope it helps! I truly believe it will. You are very welcome!

Thanks for this video, I suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury 2007) I have a note from my neurosurgeon stating that I have balance issues and cannot pass a sobriety test on the roadside sober. I have a arm rail in my hallway that I installed just for my continued physical therapy with my balance issues. I used to live on and in my old wooden sailboat because I knew that I had to constantly work on my balance problems because if I didn’t I would either land on the deck or in the chilly water of the Chesapeake Bay.
This is wonderful.. focuses on what i needed to do everyday to stay stable....

Hi Jenny. I started out as a sivananda yoga teacher in 2002. While teaching yoga at Bally total fitness I was lucky to receive training in silver sneakers and got several certifications. Plus a level mat one Pilates. My main love is yoga. For the past 10 years I’ve been teaching at a community center, a mix of senior classes and chair yoga. Now I’m home teaching zoom classes during covid. Have never had the guts to go on you tube personally. But use it as inspiration to learn new tricks😉 I’m enjoying your routines. Stay well🙏 I might pop up on you tube yet. I’ve subscribed to you and hit the bell!
great exercises I really liked. I will do it at least one day a week. thanks again Jenny for sharing your knowledge.
