I'll give this a shot. I'm 79 and think I still have reasonably good balance. Every morning as I brush my teeth with my left hand (I'm right handed) I stand on one foot,. looking forward, alternating right foot and left foot. Once upon a time I could do this with my eyes closed, but that was then. But, anything for the cause of balance!

[@mtngrammy6953]

Great exercise! I am 78 and have pretty darned good balance, but do keep working at it. I do a lot of proprioception exercises with my agility dogs, so now I can join them!! Thanks for the new tips. Love your videos. How is Bob doing? We miss him.

[@BobandBrad]

Bob is still there working behind the scene, thanks for watching!

​@@BobandBrad🖐🖖Hello! Live long and prosper!!

[@Outdoors49Man]

I'm 74 and trying to recover strength and coordination after Covid inactivity. I'm now doing a 3 mile walk 3 days a week up and down a pretty steep hill. Balance is more of a problem than strength. Your videos are giving me insights. Thank you.

[@BobandBrad]

Glad we could help!

[@michelebrowne418]

I love your videos, fellas. They are becoming more and more essential as I age. Regarding balance, I have a little trick I have used for years(and I’m 74). When I brush my teeth I stand on one foot for the bottom and one foot for the top, trying to do a minute on each. I find that it is really important to keep the small muscles and tendons in the lower leg, ankle, and foot strong to maintain good balance too and this has helped me. Plus, I have the sink to grab or hold should I need it!

[@kcmcnut]

Love your red socks! Thank you for all you do to help us seniors.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks!!

[@gloriareszler4196]

This is truly one of the best videos about such an important exercise!!! Tks❤❤❤

[@BobandBrad]

You are very welcome, we are glad we could help!

[@carlettarinard4252]

These videos are ver helpful! I am a 74 year old female. I suffer lumbar stenosis and it’s past the moderate stages where my legs give way at times, plus I have a lot of foot trouble, spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis…and of course I am overweight. I do some chair exercises for strength in my feet and legs, I had a TRKR two years ago…my right leg still feels weak when it comes to steps. I have neuropathy in both feet (not diabetic). I want too be able to keep going and doing…I definitely need to WORK ON MY BALANCE! Thank you for all you do. I’ve watched you a long time. Tell Bob hello and he’s missed and loved too! Mike is awesome too!

[@MikeD_]

Not going to lie. I got excited when I saw solo cups, figuring that beer was somehow now going to help my balance instead of hurt it! Good stuff. I'm only in my early '60s, but I want to stay ahead of these things. What works today might not as well next year.

[@sharonsanders2198]

Very helpful!! Thank you!!!

[@BobandBrad]

Of course! We are happy we could help!

[@susannadumbrell815]

Good to see you Bob, even just in the corner of the screen for a couple of seconds. You guys are lovely and have so much love for each other. Good on you.

[@JAMinerViews]

Huge for seniors since falls can become a very big problem that only leads to larger problems and complications.. great video.

[@BobandBrad]

Happy we can help! Thank you for watching!

[@judyfidkowski1110]

Thanks!

[@BobandBrad]

Thank YOU!! We appreciate you!

[@marilyn6312]

Really good video with simple instruction and demonstration. Brad - you are still at your BEST! Even better!! Good to see Mike in this video too. Keep up the great work!

[@lidip8700]

My mom, who is 81 y/o started Line Dancing with a Seniors group. I doubt she will ever shuffle her feet like I see a lot of 80 year olds do. I just started working on a Rebounder. The a lot of balancing for sure. Praying for Bob! You're so missed. I'm going to search the older videos to look for a Rebounder one. (Hope Bob & Brad made one.)

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you, good luck!

[@teees554]

Thanks Bob and Brad for all the help over the years. I cannot thank you two legends enough. ❤

[@osilva2367]

These are great. I'm 59 and very active and these are easy but definitely a good addition to my balance and proprioceptive activities I already do❤ And these are easy to teach to others.😊😊

[@BobandBrad]

Glad you like them!

[@dc9291]

thanks for balancing exercises

[@MeisVlk]

As a motorcyclist, I like to practice being able to go ahead while looking around and behind. So, I present a hardcore version, if you want to challenge yourself: Do these exercises while looking around in your room. Behind, above, to the sides. Change where you look while you move your legs. It can be learned, but there are some really tricky spots: for me especially when I look above and to the side, then look above and to the other side.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks!

[@mimiescape2023]

Thank you for mentioning hip replacement. Some of us are still not sure what is allowed even after restrictions have been lifted.

[@gailnewcomb8256]

Great exercise! I’m going to try it too. Thanks!❤

[@carmentorres2083]

Great!!! And the before and after dinner, wonderful.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for watching, we appreciate you!

[@peacewithHim]

Thank you so much! What a wonderful routine for balance.

[@BobandBrad]

No problem!

[@missshopper25]

Hi Mike and Brad! Hi Bob! Mike your balance is pretty good! Thanks for sharing these with us, I'll attempt but might be a tad difficult for me. I'll be sure to forward to someone who can benefit from these too. Enjoy your day! See y'all next video! Toodles!

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for watching!!

[@hildafernandezlorenzo3392]

I really need these exercises …..my balance is a mess! Thank you so much guys!❤❤❤

[@cactustree505]

Excellent thank you

[@BobandBrad]

We are happy we can help!

[@americanviewpoint]

So glad to see this 5 yrs ago I had good balance, and could stand on my paddle board now 63 I gallon the water every time I try 😊

[@RichRich1955]

I did balance exercises but it wasnt until I strengthened the Gluteus Medius's did my balance improve.

[@marybutlin5605]

Great exercise. Thank you 😊

[@BobandBrad]

You're welcome!

[@RichRich1955]

The gluteus medius and minimus muscles work together to promote hip abduction (the movement of the leg away from the body) and prevent hip adduction (the movement of the leg toward the body). They stabilize the hip and help us balance.

[@jeroldpaquette9068]

It is an oldie but goodie

[@BobandBrad]

For sure!

[@bearfog07]

Thanks guys, I SAW you, Bob, video-bombing on the right of screen! Great exercises!

[@lidip8700]

So I stared at the right side of the screen & never saw him. (I don't listen to the videos bc mike's voice makes my teeth itch, lol), so I didn't think I'd miss Bob. ?? Do u have a time frame when he was on?

[@lidip8700]

Awww, I watched again & saw Bob! Man, you've got good eyes! Lol lol

[@judyseering7557]

Love the humor. That word is a tongue twister, I was waiting but no mess ups. 😂😂 I have severe glaucoma & 60, so I think this will be perfect for me. I, also, have IT band syndrome so I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. 😉 Uh oh the "kid" was wobbly 😂 Hi Bob, peek-a-boo I see you. You guys are a bright spot in my day.

[@albertlovshin7791]

Miss brad

[@douglasalan5783]

The cups! I did a variation of this in PT.

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear!!

[@LambieSamba]

Great seeing Bob peek in there! 75 and no hands! Yay

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for watching!

[@KeifusMathews3]

Been a while since I been here, were your partner Bob? Great job Mike! & Brad~

[@jmc8076]

Search their playlist. They have videos on why he’s now behind the scenes.

[@OfficialBestSHOTS]

Can tingling and cold feet without pain in the back or in leg be a disc bulg problem?

[@BobandBrad]

[@suzanneshea5428]

Please forward this to Brad. I thought of him when I saw it.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for watching! Bob was there when it filmed!!

[@lidip8700]

Yep, at the 2:28 mark. I missed him the first time, and after reading other posts about him "peeking in," I had to watch it again. Lol

[@stantonroyce9377]

QUESTION - WHY DON'T YOU ALSO TOUCH BEHIND YOU STRAIGHT BACK?

[@ivyhill8174]

Every time you knock over a cup, you have to take a drink. 😂

[@machonsote918]

02:25 "Photobombed"...................Is that Bob?

[@chrisdonovan8795]

Judo is amazing for proprioception. Not only am I aware of my body parts' positions in space, but also my opponent/partner's when we're in contact.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@danarzechula3769]

Ooo New party trick😂

[@tomcat7525]

That third leg will get in the way Mike and I would like to see Mike's dog do these exercises. 🙀

[@euniceh9851]

💖

[@celestebarrentine3922]

Why not back to the 6 position also?

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for watching!

[@jmc8076]

Looks like they didn’t read your comment.

[@philjon763]

We should do that when we are drinking beer or taking shots.😁

[@BobandBrad]

Oh be very careful!!

[@fugitivecolors]

Karate Senior...

Lol...I was thinking karate geezer ☺

@@maryg.7790 sorry, I´m a respectful person

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for watching!

[@dennisgarber]

I don't think Mrad is as cute as Brad. But he will have to do.

[@jmc8076]

Who’s Mrad?

[@smca7271]

Eyes closed gets the vistibular in there working too...great for the unconscious balance.

[@jmc8076]

Yes, do this almost daily. Also read comment from motorcyclist for more ideas to add.

[@smca7271]

@jmc8076 yes thats a good one....I also hit a ballon back and forth above my head, behind,sides,front and it gives me instant results....I have some cerebellum damage so also do these daily.

[@jannellmeagher638]

Why Mike, why?!😂

[@lalaland962]

😂🤣

[@BobandBrad]

LOL, classic

[@carolbenson6524]
