    Balance is something we all need in everyday life, especially those who are young at heart! Over time our balance has become an after thought until we are found afraid to take the next step.

    Practice these balance exercises to gain STRENGTH & CONFIDENCE in EVERY step you take. Not only that you'll strengthen that mind-muscle connection that will lead to improved brain performance which has a huge impact in as we age.
    Here are the 5 balance exercises you need to do:
    Single Limb Balance
    Rock the Boat

    When I was a kid, my elderly aunt watched me picking grass with my toes. I would also lift dropped items, like pencils, with my feet. Instead of being angry, she said " That's so good for you. Keep doing that your whole life. I wish I could still do it". I still can at 60+.

    I had a coach tell me YEARS ago that I will lose balance as I age. I didn't believe him. Jokes on me. Now I'm watching these dang videos.
    Thanks for the help.

      I don’t believe loosing balance is only about aging but rather lack of movement as we get less active.
      Coming out of a hospital at a younger age bead to re strengthen all my balance again. The hips back ankles. The core gets weak laying in bed. Sitting all day is just as bad

    Thanks, Coach for teaching us these balance exercises. It seems hard to admit that at age seventy-one, I am a senior citizen, but when I tried to do these exercises I was humbled.
    The central nervous system gets a tremendous amount of activity just balancing on one foot. I do these five exercises a minute each, twice a day, and the effects are so worth it.

    I have balance problems all of a sudden. I haven't used Supermarket trollies for decades, but suddenly I find them great for restoring balance and confidence, because I have fallen twice in recent months, resulting in visits to hospital A&E. I can scoot along now, while leaning on my trolley

      I am unsteady on my feet, but like to take a walk when weather permits. I can walk freely, but I purchased a good walker, with a seat and a basket and I use it for my daily walks around the nearby block. It gives me confidence. Buy a good quality one.

    Thanks for sharing. I lost much of my balance after being non weight for 8 months and just post shoulder replacement and multiple knee surgery resulting in screws patella and tibia, pins, cabling , and so on. On top of that ankle (same side) fused and low back fusions. Not a lot of movement to regain balance if I lose it.

  • @agram6743
    @agram6743 Před rokem

    I guess I hve to accept that at 77 I am no longer a young man, but my balance was great until 4 years ago when head injuries destroyed the vestibular organs in the inner ear on both ssides. It took me months to learn to walk again, or even stand. Even now I walk like a drunkard, and need a stick. In a case like mine do you think these exercises could help, since the main organ of balance no longer exists within my body?

    • @Criticalbench
      @Criticalbench  Před rokem +1

      Practice will always make perfect, the human body is amazing, resilient and adaptsive. You will never know, until you try. But I would say it's totally possible.

    Trouble with standing on one leg is you double the pressure on your knee and hip joints. Don't do it for long time.
    I have a very SLIGHTLY weak knee and standing on the leg with the weak knee makes it WORSE.

    What the heck is a senior? I search for exercises and stretches for seniors... and guess at 64=I am not anywhere near being one.The exercises I often see are for frail or perhaps obese seniors. I have a hobby farm . Large garden and paint my own house, shovel horse stalls, dig holes for trees, use wheelbarrows, swim an hour or two in summer, lift and carry 50;lb feed bags ...etc. I want to stay as fit and strong as long as I can...but the assumption is everyone over60 is frail,weak, and senile...sheesh...gave up looking at senior exercises ... I also use hand weights and a Nile weigh that can hold up to about 20 lbs for some exercises...guess I have to just do what I have been doing and modify exercises for younger folks cause I won’t need these till I am in my 90’s it seems
