    Added this onto one of your walking workouts, thanks Jules. Balance is getting better since I started doing your workouts. I can remember at first not being able to do standing on tiptoe without flailing, I can control that now.

    Thanks Jules! When I did this last night I realized it is very similar to some of the balance test routines they put us through at the ms clinic. I did it again this morning and will keep it in my routine along with the walk to lower my heart rate

    Great balance exercises, Jules! I've just started incorporating balance into my daily exercise routine....because of age, and because of instability that I now have due to osteo in my knees. I was surprised with how unstable I've become on my right side; but I'm confident that these exercises will definitely improve that instability. Thank you so much!

    These were so good. I always like finding new balance exercises. Despite a long layoff for a variety of reasons (sickness, babysitting), I was able to do the more challenging versions. These are also good for arthritis in my spine that has been causing numbness and tingling in my right leg...starting PT for that this week! Thanks, Jules! I'm glad I saw this new video.

    Thanks for helping with a "deposit to my life investment"! Always more fun doing (my) PT exercises when we do them together. The alternating toe lifts were a kinder option than both feet at once. Adding the squat variation to work inner thighs is always appreciated. Seven minutes toward a lifetime of suppleness, flexibility, and balance, all because of you, Jules. 😊

    Hi, Jules! New subscriber, and you're my favorite fitness teacher! I've been working out for over a week with one of your older videos. It's a seated workout, using light weights for part of it. Guess what?? Last night, in the shower, I was able to stretch and reach ALL of my back for a good scrub!! My husband told me to subscribe and to stick with all your workouts, so here I am!! Thank you, for your kind, gentle and encouraging approach to fitness for older people. I'm a retired university teacher and counselor, and you're going to help me achieve my goal of staying flexible. I have already been riding our stationary bike for one year and following a "Heart Healthy Mediterranean" eating plan. Thanks!!

    My right leg is the culprit. Now I know what to work on.
    I only have balance problems when I walk my dog. The doctor recommended to hire a dog walker. I think he was joking.
    Thanks Jules. Yes, I am still with you all the time just too lazy to write comments.
