Thank you for the great exercises, guys! But where is Bob? I've not been to Bob and Brad facebook page in a while. I looked yesterday and he's gone. 😢 Hi Mike! nice to meet you.
Your videos are an excellent source for keeping people stable and physically healthy. I had a fall last year that has damaged my knee. I have a strain/pain along the outside or my knee cap muscle/tendon, noticed only when going up or down stairs. Looking forward to finding a video on how to strengthen that area. ♥♥♥
"you should have a firm chair" I have to wonder how much damage, in strength, posture, etc. is coming from our inadequate furniture/furnishings. Most of the new living room chairs and couches have no support whatsoever. I just recently discovered these videos, and one in particular made a huge difference and immediately. Best sleep positions video said if you lay on your side, use 2 pillows. Impingement kept me from the usual, sleeping on my stomach, and stomach pillow was wholly inadequate for the required sleeping on side, which triggered furious neck pain. I'd have never figured this out - so thank you!
I save your exercise routine the ones that suit me when I'm at work sitting at my computer on my chair with two arms I do them so convenient thank you may God cover you and bless all three of you❤
Great timing. Between my bunions and arthritis in my feet- my feet!- I've decided I need to really hunker down and work on this stuff. My body mechanics need work.
I used to live in a multifamily building complex with a swimming pool in the rental office building. Where there was no one acting like a jerk there when it comes to enforcing the rules. Me and my dependant children during the summer months liked to try walking the tightrope marking system between lanes when it was not taut enough when we had the whole swimming pool to ourselves. None of us managed to learn how. Meanwhile the eyes were upon us while we were unaware of that. Oh well.
I am 53 and reasonably fit and stable. At my local walking oval park, there is a 3 stair setup. I stand on the ground and then slowly move one foot up to the first step, but don't put it down. I hold it for a couple of seconds hovering over the step. Then I put it down and move my weight over that foot. I then lift the foot behind, up an inch, but don't move it. then I slowly move the back foot up to the next step, but don't put it down. I let it hover a couple of seconds. I repeat up to the top step where I then rotate that foot in front and around the to the opposite side of the foot stationed already on top. I hold this for 2 seonds before doing everything backwards. I then start again but begin the steps with the opposite foot. I found improvements in my walking stability was noticeable. But it is not easy to do. Sometimes I frustrate the other young runners who want to jog up and down on the steps to show off to the girls. But I think what I do slowly is much more difficult and beneficial then moving up and down the steps quickly. Warning: There is a good chance that you will fall off the stairs at some point. If this sound bad to you, then don't try what I wrote. You are responsible for you. I advise no one of anything.
If you like this... I also do a more advance version. I stand sideways to the stairs on the ground. Starting with my outside foot I bring it across to the opposite side of my body and up to the first step and let it hover before it goes down. I then move the weight over this top foot and lift my lower foot and hover before bringing it up the next step to hover and then down on that upper step. I do this to the top and then reverse. Then I stand on the ground looking the other way and repeat the processes using opposite feet first.
If you like this... I also stand next to a step looking away. My butt is facing the step, like if I wanted to sit on it. I don't sit. I lift a foot up behind and over the step and back down to the ground in circles, trying not to touch the step. I may stop on the top and tap the step with my toe. I then do the other foot. I then repeat for each leg rotating the opposite way. So like I rotate outside in first and the next time, inside out (clockwise vs counter clockwise).. You can start with the lower steps and then move to higher steps with practice. To do this requires steps without railings. The 3 step contraptions at park are generally like this. Warning warning warning. Don't listen to me and all that stuff. You break your own legs, I don't.
I better get with the program just in case this neighborhood starts flooding in the streets often again just before freeze-up. A lot of us were injured while trying to walk in this neighborhood before the drainage system upgrades were completed well. Unlike in other neighborhoods which has attracted the attention of that artist by name of Banksy. I saw a poor guy who took a spill in front of a stopped car at a red light while he was carrying a couple of bags full of heavy for us seniors groceries when no ice was on the ground. I offered to help him carry those groceries next while asking him if he needed help after running to the scene while noticing it happen from across the street at that intersection however he said no. Perhaps it was only part of his exercise routine that day which hadn't gone as planned ahead of time. I like to carry my groceries home too by myself. On the bus. I better check in with my exercise consultant again after a similar unexpected change in my plans on a day over a year ago now. I forgot to after being told by my doctor not to carry anything heavy anymore. After months of rest I started carrying my groceries again.
Thanks, Guys! I have a couple of your videos saved to start working on. I'm only 72, but have had peripheral neuropathy for about 6 years. Not diabetic. In fact, I am way too skinny and have lost too much muscle mass. My proprioception is pretty bad unless moving fairly briskly, and my eyesight so-so. It doesn't look like any of your excersizes should have anything but good for me. I know I can't a lot to safely rebuild muscle mass in the neuropathy-affected muscles, but it looks like your excersizes will help with balance, core muscles, and maybe propriocetion. Any specific warnings or advice on all this? Thanks!
Please can you do a segment on proper footwear. I have senior family member who still wears flip flops for slippers. His heel often falls out of the flip flop. I tell him to get slippers with a cupped heel but he won't listen to me. He hopefully will listen to you! PLEASE ❤!
Hello I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and sciatica. I have pain in the glute , side thigh and side calf pain and ankle, pt says they can't help me.
Amazon, Home Depot, Loew's, Costco, Sam's, BJs, all dollar stores- especially in spring sales. I got mine last Memorial Day sale at Dollar Tree for $9.99!
Please Help! I trust your advice. Could you please recomend the best knee sleeve on the market? I have arthritis on both knees. I need support. I was looking "Fitnus" brand. What do you think?! THANKS SO MUCH! 🌝
You still have time to get to know the Lord Jesus Christ before it's too late So many people will hear the dreaded words on judgement day. "I never knew you" Get right with God while you still can. 🙏 🙏

toes-straight-ahead when walking sideways is crooked pressure on the knees.
toe-out is what the knees can, actually, do
Thanks!
Thank you!!
I have no prob with exercise 2 and 3 but I can only go 10 seconds on standing on one leg. Will work on that!
