Balance naturally declines as we age. This exercise will help active seniors maintain their independence and is a sure way to stay out of a nursing home!

Loved the video, and just subscribed to the channel!
THIS is why I am here: Recently, I started taking a Tai Chi class, and the first thing they started me on was learning to do a "tai chi walk method." I instantly learned that my balance is bad enough that I kept trying to fall over when slowly going through the motions. It was bad enough that I have withdrawn from the class, and am now trying to work specifically on balance.
As an explaination, over the last year I have lost over 100 pounds having dropped my carbohydrate intake to 20-30 grams per day. In doing just that, I have rid myself of my hyperglycemia, my type-2 diabetes and ALL of my diabetes medications. Now it is time to work on getting my body to understand the new weight distribution, and building up the muscles and joints needed to maintain balance, so I can once again, rejoin the tai chi program.
try this every day:

I am a step behind I cant get up from a chair without rocking and pulling up on something. If a chair doesn't have arms I can push up off of I cant sit in it. I lack leg strength. I cant get up from the floor either. What do you suggest?
Really awesome information!
I am in bad shape balance wise I fall down a lot and I have to do some thing itβs getting to the point where I donβt think I can live alone anymore. I have an appointment with the physical therapist but itβs not until the end of June so I will try to do something before that thank you very much

Like most physio exercises they are demonstrated by a younger fitter person and bear little resemblance to the abilities of the average 70 plus aged person. Better to use an older person that has actual balance challenges
I am diagnosed spinocerebeller ataxia
This exercise is also helping me with my post labyrinthectomy challenges. If I don't keep up the movements due to illness or a sedentary lifestyle, the "bobble head" feeling returns. My post op rehab was mostly head and eye movements. These round out the routines. Thank you for the exercise ideas.
Namaste liked your video. Practice is more important. Yes ππ
Very good exercise for imbalance
Thank you,,I fell on tuesday doing this exact thing.
this young lady is the Real Deal
My fitness classes are asking about better balance .
Thanks for this !
It's so important for seniors to maintain balance in order to prevent falls. Equally important, after experiencing one fall, is to regain confidence in order to prevent a second fall. This article explains more: https://www.athomeindependentliving.com/fall-prevention-and-building-confidence/
Would have been a good video if it weren't for the sound effects, so frustrating
Really nice needed after Hip Replacement surgery Thanks
