    I came across this video when searching for ways to strengthen my legs after knee replacement surgery, when I literally couldn't walk more than a block. I do regular cardio workouts, but that didn't really help my legs. Well, this video is fantastic!! I have been doing these exercise (in addition to the regular cardio) at least 3 times a week, for about a month now - and what a difference it has already made! I can literally feel my legs getting stronger! And my balance is much, much improved! Thank you, Jenny!!

      Your exercises are just what I needed as I am 84 and since COVID happened I began losing my balance and wondered if I was crazy to have lost so much of my ability to move around such as just normal walking and keeping my balance when doing so. I sometimes feel like I’m afraid to even go out alone without someone to assist me in case I were to lose my balance and fall 😭

    Dear Jenny

    A brain stroke caused me to lose my balance 4 years ago. The first exercise I did with you today felt great. Hopefully, I will be able to improve my balance soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in this video. Although I live in Croatia, I was privileged to have you in my living room today as my coach, something I find more than beautiful.

    At 71 I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I need all the exercise I can possibly get to help with balance. After doing your exercise I was really sore. So Ive used muscles that I haven't used in awhile. Will definitely be doing your video several times a week. Thanks for your concern in senior citizens and anybody with balance issues.

    Jenny, thanks for this. It is a game changer. My wife and I are 73 and try to do this every day.
    I do have a tip that I am finding useful. With the 3rd stage of single leg stance, the tip toe is nearly impossible, but I can raise up and down, on each toe for a second or two and I am getting longer on tip toe.
    I did have an incident, and thought of you. I was on a step ladder looking intently at what a worker was doing and talking to him. When I backed off the ladder, I stepped on his tool belt. Two months previous I would have fallen. I did not because of this video.

    These are fabulous. My balance has deteriorated over the past few years and I have struggled to find effective exercises. I can practice these everywhere, which is great. Your 35 minute interval for us old geezers is wonderful, as well.

I’m 84 and have had 2hip replacement s and 2 knee replacement plus broke my ankle and have metal there! I need lots of your exercises to get stronger. Been doing them for 4 months now! Progress is slow , but I try to do them 5 times a week! Thank you for caring about us seniors!

    It came as a surprise to me that balance was more difficult than I realized. Some of these revealed the need to give more time and effort to balancing exercises. These are so practical and can be carried out with limited space in the comfort of home. To engage in these are now going to be in my select exercises for balancing. Many thanks to Jenny for sharing, to who knows how many on youTube. I am glad to have come across this video.

My balance, at 73, has improved so much. Especially important since my balance today is not as good as 20 years ago. You’ve been such wonderful find during COVID. Thanks 😊 y

    I just love reading everyone’s comments...so encouraging and international!!! I’m so glad I found you! You offer sooooo many videos that address a myriad of concerns. My balance is awful and two years ago I was diagnosed with osteoporosis because my cancer treatment depleted my body of vitamin D. So as spastic as I am anyway, now the fear of breaking a bone is a real concern. You make all of us feel like we can participate, the level doesn’t matter as long as you keep moving! Some of these movements were challenging for me, but also gives me a workable goal. In a world of exercise videos where I often feel left behind, you encourage me all the way. Thank you again for all you do!💪🏻🙏🏼🙌🏻🤩💗

    Had my 50th birthday last year and determined to become healthier after dealing with a year of gallbladder issues then surgery...I took this as a wake up call for my diet and lifestyle. I went back to the YMCA using weights, walk nature trails for cardio, but I needed something for balance (the wellness coaches didn't have much I can do for that..what they showed me was too advanced). So glad I found your channel and putting this one in my workout playlist.😊

    I had spine surgery last year on my lumbar spine then 11 months ago on my cervical which was the cause of my stiff legs, vertigo, and worst balance . I had been with physiotherapy twice and I feel of no progress. My quality of life has changed and I feel miserable. I read about vertigo and balance are side effects of cervical as per study made to people that had undergone cervical surgeries after 10 years ago. These are what affected me…vertigo and bad balance. Until I was led to your video exercise last nite . I did it today and I felt so good after and mostly it gave me full of hope. Thank you.

    despite doing yoga incuding tiptoe and balancing posture, this is the first time i know the role of the lower leg as well as the concept of training the reflex and muscles for recovery instead of being stern for balancing. I hurt my ankles a lot in the past in all balaning postures, so your explanation and demo is a real gift to me. Thanks so much!!!!

      Hi Jenny. I started out as a sivananda yoga teacher in 2002. While teaching yoga at Bally total fitness I was lucky to receive training in silver sneakers and got several certifications. Plus a level mat one Pilates. My main love is yoga. For the past 10 years I’ve been teaching at a community center, a mix of senior classes and chair yoga. Now I’m home teaching zoom classes during covid. Have never had the guts to go on you tube personally. But use it as inspiration to learn new tricks😉 I’m enjoying your routines. Stay well🙏 I might pop up on you tube yet. I’ve subscribed to you and hit the bell!

    I'm 44 and I will say for a while now (maybe 10 years?) I've noticed a decrease in my balance going down the stairs (wide stairs with no hand rails, unless you're on the side). Basically people (mostly younger but could be older too) pass me going down. I can still walk down without a hand rail but I need to go a bit slower than the average person it seems. It's a little embarrassing, but also probably indicative of a balance problem in general I should work on. I'm pretty impressed by your balance - some of these exercises are challenging me.

    I’m a 64 year old retiree from California. I love all your videos as it is perfect for my ability as a senior. I also have plantar fasciitis and a big bunion and flat footed. I know the hamstrings are good exercise for plantar. Wondering if there are other exercises for this type of feet condition. Thank you so much for all your videos especially at this time when gyms are close. More blessings and power to you.

    • @JennyMcClendonFitStart
      @JennyMcClendonFitStart  4 роки тому

      Hi! Yeah, that's a lot of foot issues. As I am sure you know, proper footwear and perhaps orthotic insoles a must. But, as far as exercises, I would stretch the heel and calf muscles 3 times a day. And, freeze a bottle of water and roll your foot on it 3 times a day. Hope that helps some! Thanks for the feedback - you are very welcome.

    I’ve been doing balance exercises for months prescribed by my PT, but not nearly as comprehensive as these. I’m fine with standing on one leg but adding in other distractions makes it much more difficult. I definitely need to add this into my regular rotation.
    The step back is basically an easy version of a backward lunge, isn’t it? Much easier to do when not called lunges! 😉
    Thanks!

I have a arm rail in my hallway that I installed just for my continued physical therapy with my balance issues.
