How many times should I repeat all of these per day?
These short exercise classes are just right for me and I've become a Mike fan.
Haha thank you Virginia - Keep up your great work and I would love to hear how you progress!
Why do you put shoes?
So grateful I found this video as I am currently helping my sister recover from a stroke and heart attack. She is getting stronger through both OT and PT but still has balance issues making her a fall risk; we will be doing this exercise EVERYDAY ❤️
I love the short exercise as well, I can always fit them into my day. Sometimes I do them twice a day, along with some walking. Thanks Mike, your doing a great job.
Thanks for the video, I am 83 years old still working part time
I need to find the best exercise
to continue good health…
Great workout without the annoying background noise (music). Thank you very much; A like for the video!
Excellent! My mom just had a hip injury and really enjoys this 10 min exercise set.
My neurologist gave me a prescription to go to a physical therapist for balance lessons. I figured I could find just as good of instructions on RUclips and I'm right. Now I won't have to drive 10 miles to and from the P.T.'s office and spend money on gas to get there. I will avoid the annoyance of dealing with a receptionist, filling out a patient history, and interacting with my insurance company. I'll have no copays. I can do the exercises at home--and in my jammies if I want to.
Thanks for uploading this video.
You're more then welcome. Keep up the great work and let me know how you go. Consistency is key!
nice set of exercises. My balance is noticeably worse so will add this into my daily routine.
Thank you so much for this video in the past two years I've had several severe falls that seem to be related to balance and also developed vertigo and ear infection issue. I've had a sedentary job for the past 5 years after being an active hospital nurse. I appreciate that you are not all hyped up and wordy and stick to the business at hand but also you seem to have empathy with the challenges of aging and go slow. Thanks for your patientce nd expertise. Im getting better every day practicing these exercises.
So happy with this video. I needed this so much not only for my physical health but for my mind, too. Thank you!😎
Thank you Helen. Glad you liked the video! 🙂
You move, too fast, with each exercise(remember we are seniors, we are not as young as you are) some of us, are back is bend over, with back pain___we can't stand up straight, to began with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so if you please, would you slow down alittle, with each exercise, for us, seniors?We would, appreciate it, very kindly!!! Keep up the good work!!!Here's looking, at you!!!!!!
Have a happy day:Joyce
These seems helping.Ihave problems with right leg.I have spinal problems causing pain in both legs and periferal neuropathy.The symptoms are more more in the right side.So I find difficult to do the exercises in one side.managing it by holding to a chair.
Hi Mike I love the 10min excise especially in the morning can u give us more because sometimes u don't have time ...love it Veronica. Canada
I enjoy your exercises, but please stop repeating yourself. Doing these exercises daily, your repetition is very annoying. Thank you for these exercises
So please to find your videos🙏🤩🙏
Thanks you so much
So in just over a month I have gone from barely being able to stand on one leg for a couple of seconds to being able to follow all of these exercise without needing to use hands or touching the ground. I did the exercises every day religiously. Mike, which video would you recommend as a progression/next step from this one? Thanks again for this wonderful and literally life-changing video!
Hey Datapolo, I have only just seen this. Absolutely amazing effort, well done and thank you for sharing. In regards to balance, I suggest some dynamic balance work, which you can find on this page here: morelifehealth.com/balance-exercise-videos. See how you go with the intermediate 5 minute video as well. I also recommend doing leg strengthening exercises - both double leg and single leg exercises.. Keep up the good work with it all!
@@MoreLifeHealth thanks Mike! Will give them a try. 🙏🏻
My 90 year old father loved this! thanks!
Big improvement after just two sessions. Thanks!
It seems like there was an uneven amount of reps on the forward/back/side/over the body. I'll have to re-check but it seems the second leg did not do as many. (Not that it was complaining;)
I think the same! It shouldn't be.
This really was so helpful-I feel like I am already improving from your video. Thanks so much!
You're welcome Jamie! Great to hear!
Another great balance one from you. Many thanks from Charlie in Syracuse NY
Here in Israel, thank you for a great video. First time I can stick with a program!
Thanks for the exercises tips
Loving this video Doing it every morning Wondering whether you have video to improve forward neck Thanks x
Thanks as always Mike, my balance is improving because of your videos
My deep appreciation 🇨🇦🤗
Just found you…thanks good exercise for us seniors
Great excrise. I need help with the muscles in my back can you more excrise for the back. Thank you.
Love these
Helping so much. Thank you
Enjoyed that and thought your commentary was good. I prefer a short workout, I groan inwardly if I think I've got to do half an hour!
After following you for some time I have just remembered I can turn OFF the subtitles that cover your feet. 😄
Haha!
I love your 10 minute classes. I usually do three!
Great work Pamalla! 🙂
Such a awesome programme thanks
Great balance exercises!! may land us SENIORS ON THE CAT WALK!!! Thanks Mike and God Bless!!!

Had a go at this excercise to-day.xx
Thank you, you've helped me greatly with my balance, I'm 83 and I felt like I was drunk walking and now I can walk without feeling like I lost my balance..
Thanks awesome program
You are best thanks
Thank you for making this video available.
You're welcome Benjamin! 🙂
I like the balance exercises. I need those.
Great to hear Lakshmi! :)
I love these balance exercises! They have helped me out a lot! Thanks for doing these for seniors.
My pleasure Pat! Glad the exercises have helped you out!
Great video for regaining balance! I lost a lot of ground on balance while I was packing and fixing the house for our move over the last four months. I'm still doing intermediate workouts, but my balance isn't what it should be. I'll keep working on it, thanks for your help!
Thanks. I have found it helpful when doing balance work to pick a spot on the wall or something that doesn’t move and focus on it. Helps me keep balance better
Thank you Mike -
Thank you, Mike!
Thanks Mike I am suffering with Ross River virus at the moment, into my 6th month. Some say it can take a year or more to recover. I am 75years old so I am starting your leg and arm exercises as my muscles in both have gotten very weak. Thank you so very much. Your short routines are just what I was looking for. Will let you know how I cope. What a debilitating disease RRV is, I had no idea.
Thank you so much….
this is the first time, I encountered your video.
Thank you, you’re pleasant to watch .
what a great help, it will do to me.
I have difficulty with my left leg (maybe sciatica).
I am not sure what you are saying when you do the last exercise. Something about the correct form? I think I'm doing them right; but just couldn't quite understand all you said for the last exercise. Enjoy these!
I love this 10 minute balance workout!
Thank you for your feedback Deborah. Keep up your great work.
Please use captions
My main problem is that I cannot stand on my left leg without support because of a hip operation which was wrongly done. I need to support myself on my right side because if the. I am easily knocked off balance as a result.
Where are you Mike?
Cant understand you with the damn echo in the room. Your voice and the echo do not work together. I quit!!
Love this series of balance exercises, thanks so much
You're welcome Christine. Glad you like the exercises!
Great exercise Mike. Has helped me improve my walking. Thank you. Anita
I am doing these with you I’m a senior 77 and need better balance
excellent balance workout bravo! Please know its appreciated! You are too! :-)
I can do most of the exercises without holding on but sometimes I have more trouble with standing on one foot or other exercises that I did fine with the day before. ???
You're so awesome. Glad I found you.
Should we do these exercises more than once a day. They are excellent. Very helpful
Awesome!!' Thanks so much!
You're welcome! Keep up the great work.
My First time doing your Exercise. Love it👍✌️

Only exercises I love , simple and effective .
Indra pasricha India

What type of stretch do you recommend for after?
First time today, Mike. i did a weight session and a balance session. Thanks! Great job!
Great work Maureen!!
Just found this one thk you 😁great work out 👍👍
I am looking forward to starting these exercises tomorrow! Thanks!
No worries! How did you go with the exercises?
This has helped me greatly! Thanks very much. Also could you provide the link for the squats video? Thanks very much.
Hey Marie. You can watch an updated squat exercise technique video here: morelifehealth.com/squat
I find that it is much easier to do these when I have shoes on 😊.
I’ve been having problems with my balance recently and was looking for a program like your’s.
These exercises are good but I would like the book so that I can find them more easily. How do I get them?
Oh, I'm in worse shape than I thought I was
Hi Mike, I wonder if it is a good or bad idea to do these exercises bare foot? Thanks for all your senior excises!
Hey Cynthia. Yes you can do these barefoot!
I am 82 and they are helping
❤
Awesome, thank you.
Thank U was good 😊
I really like this exercises. I assume we should do these every day? I am 72 years old.
Always best to gradually progress the exercises Ginny. However, yes, you can do these everyday. If you get tired or sore however, give yourself a rest before getting back to it.
Thank you good for my pain knees
Happy to help!
very good and thank you
Great video💕 Th to caring about us older folks! What do you think of strength training for seniors?
Sojourner Shrink You’re welcome Sojourner! :) I think all seniors should do some form of strength training. I have written a recent, in-depth article on the topic: morelifehealth.com/articles/strength-training-guide
Great video! It was fun keeping up with the toe tapping. Challenged the brain, too. Thanx!
Glad you liked it Evelyn! Keep it all up! :)
Thank you so much for these balancing exercises, have been doing them for just a short time and feel a difference already.Thanks.
The chair is not stationary and if the person loses balance for a moment and grabs the chair, it will go flying with them.
Thanks! This has been a big help to my hip pains.
I
It's fantastic 😊😊
i am oing now
I really like this series. I subscribed. Thanks
Welcome aboard Dicta! 🙂

Got it
Great video, thank you.

Very user friendly, nice one.
Thanks Brendan :)
Nice demonstration of balance exercises for seniors . Although these appears easy at a first glance, it requires practice to perform. Thanks for sharing.
They do. And they can be made more challenging than this also :)
Lol I'm 31 and it still took me multiple tries to get through them easily.
@@ZeekCannon It must be easy for youngsters but this comment is with reference to elderly people.
@@bhairavsinhjiraol1543 Yeah my dad can't do these. (He is 70.) I doubt he will work on it either. :c He just says he's "bad at balance" and leaves it at that.
P p
Thank you!!
You're welcome Yvette!
love this. so achievable : )
i could do very few without holding on...I need to do this 2x a day everyday. thanks
Enjoyed the exercise, felt it very beneficial.
I love the 'dance' movements .....forward back to the side and cross over the body.Thanks a lot.
You're welcome June! :)
