You should make walking part of your day everyday. If you are not walking , I mean intentionally walking for at least 15 minutes everyday, you will slowly lose the strength and balance you need to walk as you get older. But if you walk daily and slowly build up to 15 then more of continuous walking, your life will improve exponentially. We are literally built to walk. Everything from our posture to our strength is influenced by how well and often we walk.
I am 74, and a prisoner in my house most of the time from Nov.-March because my neighbors can't be bothered to shovel and salt their walks. I climb my stairs and do housework in winter, but walk an hour most days when there's no ice.
@@christal2641oh! It's exactly my story.
Thank you 👍
Yes , my mom never walked just sitting all day & working. She was a workaholic & in the end she had no balance while walking & kept having falls
😂Am a vigorous 83 . Lately my legs tried to give up on me. Hehhh.
The problem was...the back of my knees suddenly run out of power....!.
THE NERVE. ..!
I'll try this exercise😅
Thank you! I'm 75 and I try to use the stairs (2 flights) daily, unless both hands are full and I can't use the railing. I am only now starting to have some knee pain, so I am going to start doing this exercise daily. My apartment is next to the stairwell so I can easily do this, even when I have to use the elevator. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my early 50's so I have always been extra mindful about balance issues and leg weakness. I am completely alone so this exercise will definitely help me continue to live at home!
You have changed my life forever! I have worked my way up to been doing all ten exercises😊It took me months to accomplish this but the results are incredible.The way you present yourself is very professional. You speak at a pace that can clearly be understood. I love the part where you go over why each exercise is so important to achieving success.Also you repeat the exercises with a client who is truly having real difficulties like me. I happened to stumble on your video thank heavens I did. I quickly pushed the subscribe button so I could gain more information about getting my balance back at age 72! and I did.Now I am independent again-what a fabulous accomplishment and it is because of the work/commitment you have to making seniors lives better
Thank you!
Wonderful
You are born to help people walk properly as they did during their younger days. God bless you.
Thank you for helping us. God bless you.
Thank you for your videos so far you are the only person who knows and understands what we Seniors problems are and how how to solve them again Thanks
I appreciate that!
Thank you. I will try it to strengthen my legs.
Thank you so much!
Yes. I get a spasm like a mini cramp in the front of my left leg, then that muscle gives way. I don’t fall because I am always holding onto something solid!
Glad I found this. I'm approaching 70, no problems so far except a few months ago when I tried to run to the gate to deal with a dog issue. When I tried to take off it was like my left leg wasn't there suddenly and down I went. Very weird feeling. Will add this to my morning routine. Thank you.
Thanks!
I will start today. My legs have progressively been getting weaker for 10 years. I’ve been to several physical therapist and no one suggested this exercise.
Hope it helps.
I hope it works
Omg, you are so helpful and sincere, thank you, I'm gonna try these.
Thank you for this wonderful information Dr Weiss! I stumbled on it now. Definitely starting tomorrow morning. I didn't know what's happening these last few months. I will be 70 in August. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Abundant blessings always.

Great rips! 😊
Thank you very much for this video 😊
I agree. I have two horses I do all the care on every day as they are here at the house. The ground can be uneven, frozen, muddy, or hard. I clean stalls and lead in and out. Horses are flighty unpredictable animals, will spook and resist directions at times. Hay bales are heavy, need to be lifted and carried. I might hate walking aimlessly but having a purpose to the animal’s care gives motivation.
It absolutely has improved my balance and stride. You don’t get to pick and choose your exercise. You direct, but also react to the horse’s movements.
Thank you so much Dr. I will try This!! 😊👍
Thanks dr Doug

You are so welcome
Thank you, you are so helpful
Thank you so much for giving such good information in such a short time.
So nice of you
For me, this exercise is easy peasy. Would I really benefit from it? I use this technique all the time. The best way, often the only way, I have to get up on a step is to step up backwards like this. I don't seem to be able to lift my foot forward and bend my knee high enough to put my foot on a step in front of me, but lifting my foot behind me is easy and I have strength stepping back and up onto a step or curb behind me. I turn around backwards to go up a curb this way, and once I'm up I lift my walker up to me. It's the only way I can get up there, unless the curb is really low.
@jintzie1950jth
I’m just the opposite. I could step up backwards with my left leg, but not my right one.
This shows us both what we really need to work on to walk normally and independently. You need to strengthen your quads and shin muscles to be able to lift your legs forward. Using these videos to strengthen all our muscles will keep us independent and maybe make your walker unnecessary eventually. I need to concentrate on this backward leg lift shown on this video.
Interesting how we all have different problems and I’m so thankful for these UA-cam videos. ❤
Thank you for this video and information. I have been experiencing this very same problem and couldn’t understand what is happening to me. I have been doing “sit to stand “exercises hoping to improve I don’t have a step up item , so what can I do use untill I get one. Thank you. LK. from Canada. ❤❤😊😊
Informative *
IAM going to this my leg's not good enough Thank you God bless
I got really bad back pain from doing the balance exercises. I mean two weeks worth so bad Thai I could hardly roll over to the other side in bed. I moved so I would not have any steps in my house. There are three steps in to my front door and now I use my back door.
Please suggest the exercises for knees suffering from osteoarthritis.
My leg will sometimes give out but mine is due to a strained sacro-illiac joint. I don't feel a spasm in my muscle. My hip/leg joint often feels like it's going to come out of joint. do you have any exercises to help with that?
OMG I feel Born Again! 😂❤❤❤ Thank You
Thank you so much for this information!
Glad it was helpful!
I have Pes Anserine tendonitis, which I read should heal in 6-8 weeks, but 3 1/2 years later I still have stiffness and after I sit for a while when I get up I get a sharp pain and it feels like my leg is going to give out. I hope this exercise helps me.
Thank you so much....mine become so heavy as if they are made of steel and making them hard to lift up
I think I may have sprained my ACL last week. Can you recommend a good stabilizing brace or other advice?
Would this be helpful for someone like me who has had 7 spinal surgeries? My left leg is very weak. The foot and lower leg starts to feel numb after walking only for about 5 minutes. I also have to use a walker to walk. Neurological testing done in 2017 revealed that I only have two functioning nerves below the knee on my left leg. I cannot stand unsupported. i have to keep shifting my feet. I don't know if I will ever see any improvement. My last surgery was October 2023, and the surgeon says we need to give it at least a year. Still, even if nothing much changes, i do think your exercise would be beneficial.
Cool
It is fate i found this video. This is just what i need
Hi…thank you…what if one of your knees had a partial meniscus removal and is giving out….thank you
Thank you for this useful video !
A person with a temporary hamstring sprain on one leg, can do this exercise? Could you please clarify?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
I would wait until that is healed to attemtp this. It could make that worse!
Pls tell me how to stop knee buckling
Where do you get the syep?
This is really useful but how high should the step be behind you?
For me, I would start with a step that is low enough that it isn't hard to manage, and over time I would try the exercise on steps that are a little bit higher, then a little more, just a little bit at a time. Does that make sense? Keep it within the range of what you can do and that isn't too hard, is what I'm thinking, and make progress that is secure and solid and safe.
This would be quite an advanced exercise for a lot of seniors. How about just stepping back?
That is also a great exercise!
for me i can be walking,and feel a suden weakness in my ankles,my left ankle more than the right ankle,would this help with that
I have Trendelenburg Gait , do you think that's possible for me to be able to do it ????
Can you please answer this question , is it possible, I could walk normal again? Thank you.
I have had tendon damage in my ankles and knees due to be put on Levaquin a couple of years ago. Do the tendons ever heal?
Yes.
TREAT MY ACHILLES channel will help you.
🙏
❤❤❤❤❤
Question: Are you supposed to have your body at 90 degrees to the ground roughly, or are you supposed to lean forward slightly while doing the exercise? I feel as if totally different muscles are engaged when I vary this, could you clarify? thank you!
You should lean forward slightly.
❤
Share tq
How about for necrosis
Is it for ssciatica 2:55
How many times do you recommend repeating this exercise each time it is done?
I suggest you do it for 5. minutes a day
9
Where can I get one of those step things?
Like many things: Amazon.
How high is the step?
My Mom is 94…will this 2:44 help her??
For me not too much liquid\ edema
I know how to balance but this life situations now
Wearing my shoes I fall due my body heavy
I even stumble when I am walking. I am acidic
Im 61 years old.
What if you are 76 and unable to walk a step without a stick?
🙏🙏🙏☺️🖖
How high is that step? Can I do this with books 📕 instead?
Yes.
“Leg giving out” is a real term…… Thanks
It’s puzzling how hard this is. I mean, is doable but not easy...
I find it is harder with my left leg than my right
The McGill airplane
I see he is barefoot in the video. Is this better for the muscles, or does it matter?
No, it doesnt matter! He was wearing slippers, as is the custom in Hawaii, so I had him go barefoot for the video.
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you.
