If you feel unstable when walking or lack confidence in your abilities- you need this one simple trick to help you. There is one mistake that I see many people making who aren't aware they are even doing it. The problem is, simply standing on one leg isn't enough to improve balance when walking. The solution? To add an additional challenge to your balance exercises such as adding arm movements, closing your eyes and/or completing exercises on an uneven surface.

My balance has been off, for a few years. 5 mini strokes. Out of the blue, this vid came up. New sub, here. Thank you!

Because of a tragic all on frozen concrete in 2003, I started using a walker, then 2 canes. But I have completely lost my equilibrium or blance.I feel stupid being days away from 76 and having had such an active walking & moving life. I hope to use your program and any others because I feel like a little child, first learning to walk alone without mommy's hand. Thank you! I have an active mind and a body that has danced, climbed on things, lifted and walked at the same time, and used to swim every day.

Your video on balance exercises at home is excellent. Our clinic performs data metrics on balance especially for seniors, and your absolutely right to add more arm movements in the corner to allow the brain to get more comfortable with changes in positions, therefore improving your response time if you feel unstable. Thank you for these amazing tips for your viewers.

Great legs! Thanks for all of the balance advice.

Thanks for some additional balance exercises to add to regime. Closing eyes is a biggy for me I discovered just how much I relied on vision for stability. Also had me realize why I get a fear of falling when looking out and down from a height, even steps with gaps between used to disorientate me if I looked at the space not step.
