I am almost 82 years and when I was a teenager I read of falls occurring often among the old. So I decided to do a little preparation, namely I practiced walking backwards to strengthen all of muscles involved. Generally 20% of my walk is going in reverse. So far I have succeeded. I do not want to celebrate too early but I think this is a worthwhile approach.

Excellent information.. Us over 75++ are candidates for falling. My good friend recently fell in the bathroom and needed a two months hospital stay.. Therefore all elderly friends, follow Will's many good tips and advice and you will be better off. Greetings from an 81 living in Bali

I'm 70 and the only time I feel like I'm going to fall backwards sometimes is going upstairs. It's scary, especially with a laundry basket full.😳

11:51 I just signed up for the 3TF and the strength building video. Will, your YT videos have helped me go from a torn meniscus and walking with a cane in January to completing a 5K in under an hour this weekend. You are amazing, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm going on Amazon to order your book. ❤

Sometimes I almost fall backwards going up a step. It is super scary!!! Thank you so much for making this video!!I think I didn’t plant my foot enough on the step, but these 3 exercises could only be beneficial, plus they are not time- consuming!!

I’m only 62 but through a series of bad decisions I’m having issues now. I have hit my head on concrete at least 20 times. 2 in the last week. Unfortunately the first exercise I can’t do because squatting is almost impossible. I’ll do the others and see what I can get done. So appreciate the videos. You do a great job and almost feel like a friend.

Finally one thing I don't have! My stomach moves my centre of gravity forward! 😄

Good advice as always. Just a suggestion: use heavier markers on your white board, please. We older folks don't see as well, esp on our phones. ❤
-
I bought the book just because I wanted to pay you a little for your valuable videos. Good book to have.

The foundations no longer support the house ! Keep leg strength and choose very carefully your shoes etc
