I taught myself to walk again after being in a wheelchair for 6 years. I waddle to walk, this exercise makes sense, will be trying it.

Wow! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for addressing this critical parameter! I've been a Personal Trainer with a specialty in Senior Citizen Fitness for 15+ years. I do wish to comment - your model is exhibiting very poor posture. We want our clients to develop balance, but also correct posture. The 2 together augment good balance in everyday life (functional training). The heel-toe is a simple, effective exercise, one of my favorites!

Thanks for sharing! My model is a 77 year-old with severe ankylosing Spondylitis . Despite his condition he is able to workout, surf, dance, and function at a very high level. You can't correct that by "standing straighter" But, despite his spine problems, he is able to improve his balacne with these types of exercise.

Thank you. I needed this.

I had to do these with my knee replacement surgery… I still have good balance years later..

[@DominiqueCurtis-p8i]

I could do this while watching TV. Standing in back of the sofa facing TV. Thanks.

[@saundraweed9738]

Thanks for some practical advice.

[@aliceaw2080]

Thank you v much. You said something v correctly. I almost trip n after that I had the fear of falling. That makes things worse as I unconsciously walk with legs apart. That makes me more unsteady and prone to falling down.

Is it better to do these exercises in shoes or barefoot?

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Barefoot is usually easier.

[@janal2000]

I can’t stand for more than a second or so on one leg. And I’m getting pretty good at doing this heel to toe stand. When I have that mastered, will that help with standing on one leg only? I just feel that standing on one leg is something that so many people can do, but I just seem to have lost that ability over the years. By the way, I’m almost 81 years old. I’m also practicing walking in a straight line, but I’m still to the point where I have to hold on a lot.

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Yes! It really does lead to you being able to do it. Dont give up!

[@kranthipulugurtha2589]

Heel to toe position, which leg has to bear the weight?? Front leg or the leg that is behind?

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Both equal

Why do older people lose their balance

[@rider65]

When you don't regularly utilize all the muscles, tendons and ligaments, they atrophy to a degree. Also, STRENGTH is key. A strong Base if Support is crucial to keeping the vestibular system in good working order. Weights, cardiovascular and balance exercises are a must as you age.

[@nancyholloman893]

I can't do it 10 sec. Yet 20 seems impossible for me😅

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

I hear you! So many poeple start off barely being able tro do 5 seconds. But over time, practicing it daily, many poeple do improve. I hope you keep trying.

[@vesuviusenigma7739]

Is this for 70yrs and over, cause im 63 and i can do it without rocking or holding out my hands

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

This is the easiest balance exercise. Age doesnt determine if it is hard, instead its your ability level. If you are having trouble with your balacne, this exericse can help.
