    Wow. Just WOW!
    After a sedentary year recovering from long Covid, I (at 79 years old) ended up with severe balance/equilibrium problems. I walked like a drunk, always with a feeling I was about to fall.
    Last week I began this program. The routine takes me about a half hour after breakfast each morning. After only one week I've had an extraordinary improvement. I think I'll be dedicating a half-hour each day to this exercise for the rest of my life.
    Thank you, Doug.

    I'm having a tough time with balance and walking after a lengthy period in a recliner with long Covid. This is just what my 79-year-old carcass needs.

    14:18 I could only do the first four exercises. I just started Physical therapy after experiencing a TIA Stroke April 2023. So it's been ten months? I need to challenge myself ( not too much) I will be doing these exercises everyday with my weekly Physical therapy. So grateful that was led to this channel.😊😊😊

    Did you realise what an amazing optical illusion your benchtop is? I thought the guy was holding onto a ledge. Then, after a while the camera angle must have changed slightly and I saw the bench top. Great exercises.

    Good balance program doug. Very dynamic. Am a retired P.T. NYU 1981 graduate. I would add fast ambulation over smooth surfaces, progressing to rough and uneven surfaces with good reciprocal arm swing. I always use a gait belt when they first start on both types of surfaces. Step tempo emphasized at all times and would call out the tempo like a marching Sgt. in the military. I was a Capt. in the US Army. Worked at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Best wishes and Happy New Year Doug. Fran

    Thank you so much for this video, after just a short illness that caused non activity for a few months! I have severe inability to balance and need to hold on the something to walk I was given PT for 3 weeks after my release from the hospital which included 2 of these exercises. Your video explains so much more and has so many more for me to try. I had given up hope of EVER walking normally until now. You are so very much appreciated. Thank you 😊

    These are the exercises I do in my kitchen when preparing meals. I tore a calf muscle one and a half years ago. Three months ago I finally could stand on my toes! I still go to Physio, and it’s nice to see improvement. I just started doing thirty three times a day. No pain. They look so simple compared to what I did before, but they do work. I was letting depressed and wanted to give up. I’m 73 years old.

I had to take PT for 7 weeks and did really good but due to some health issues became weak again and I felt the need to do something to help improve my balance and walking on mu own. I was so glad your CZcams channel came up on my tablet cause these were the exact exercises my Therapist was having me do before. So I'm definitely going to follow your instructions. Bye from Ohio🌹

    So appreciate corroboration: I'm 78 teaching what I call "yoga-cise" and doing a version of 7 of your 10. It DOES work, so pleased to encounter your work. PS I began with Zen walking meditation years back. Thanks --for the 'tapping' onto a stepping stool exercise, and reminding me about stepping back and forth over an object. (I used to use a staircase --and it really DOES help balance.) Another I love? Walking mindfully along curbs, especially long stretches of them, where traffic doesn't interfere. Sta bene, everybody .
