I love you Exercises Margaret Thank you ever so much

[@truthorapolitelie8336]

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making your house look pretty in the background. Since I'm exercising in my home, I prefer to follow exercise routines where the person isn't in a gym. I have followed along several times per week for almost a year and have noticed a big improvement in my balance, especially when I get dressed.

[@deepforestenergy60]

Everything is in harmony, the room, indoor plants, a picture on the wall and a wonderful Teacher. Very good useful exercises and great emotions. Thank you.

[@iangibson6015]

It really is so generous of you to share your knowledge. Thank you.

[@thanhtoffolotto5019]

Thank you so much for the exercises helping my legs to be strong. You have such a lovely home. Congratulations !

[@maryloudelossantos1624]

Thank you for sharing your video. It's valuable & helpful! Looking forward to more videos to come ahead.

[@glindathegoodishwitch9244]

I do do these exercises already for balance, but love the extra information you've provided about variations while doing the first one (eye and head movements, etc.), for both, keeping the standing leg soft, making sure the pelvis is straight and good posture. One question, how many reps and how many reps and how many sets would you recommend for each one of these. I do have your book and have put it to very good use. Thank you, Margaret.

[@lindalangford4470]

I need these exercises to improve my balance!

[@Syl-Vee]

Thanks for this. Balance is all the more important in management of osteoporosis.

[@carolbozek1625]

Thank you for a fabulous lesson! Your voice is soothing and encouraging!!❤️👍🏿🌹

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you so much!

[@sheila8730]

Thank you.

[@ruth5498]

A great lesson. Your gentle approach makes it fun and easy to improve. At 75 it is a must for me to strengthen my balance. Thank you, Margret!

[@nutritionist2947]

It's awesome. I will definitely do this exercise every day for a month.

[@kimyoung3484]

Thank you ❤️

[@sshibad]

thank you in my stroke rehab your video did wonders

[@maisygirl9448]

Hi Margaret! While watching/doing this video, it seemed familiar and I realized I had done them before from your book, Exercise for Better Bones! Time to go back and review all those excellent activities, especially balance! Many thanks for that outstanding book and another great video! ❤

[@margaretmartinpt]

You are so welcome!

[@DNA350ppm]

You are the cutest, Margaret, and so inspiring! I'm way behind, but I'll get a little bit better exercising under your leadership! Thanks a lot!

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you

[@marilynlegaspi7335]

Thanks a lot Margarette..I am inspired to exercise because of you.

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you for sharing that with me.

[@theresabaker7092]

Margaret,so glad I found you . I am 3 months post op from right hip surgery which I had 2 of the gluteal muscles reattached after a pickle ball injury. PT is going well but we have not worked on my balance yet and I love these simple balance exercises.

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you

[@jennifersavage1667]

wonderful! I am SO grateful for you and your video. I'm 68yo, nonathletic (ever), with significant scoliosis per doc, osteoporosis (1st fall resulted in T11-T12 compression fracture), osteoarthritis, and just recently diagnosed with RA! These exercises are wonderful and I look forward to having ability to not only subscribe. Feeling like I grow daily in greater appreciation of my MIL's saying: "Aging is NOT for sissies!:

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you

[@dig9260]

Thank you. Your videos became my daily routine

[@margaretmartinpt]

Glad to hear that

[@davidhaines6512]

Excellent! One thing I would add. I notice that when I start to lose my balance, I start to hold my breath. So being mindful of my breath and not holding it.

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you for sharing

[@josephmooney661]

Thanks for the info. I am 65 and I would like to eventually be able to cut the grass without having to sit down for a few minutes because my hips are aching.

[@ljd3766]

Thank you 💕

[@margaretmartinpt]

Any time!

[@izharahmedansari5628]

Nyce info Ma'am

[@Kate-ue9gf]

Thank you, good balance exercise! I started doing Asian squats to help getting up when I'm in a deep bend when picking up something. Do you have a video on a proper Asian squat to build strength in legs?

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you. Not yet

[@BOOMNERD51]

Great advice!

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thanks for watching!

[@shericooper7138]

Thank you for this, very much.

[@margaretmartinpt]

You are welcome

[@denisebarker9288]

Thank you for all you tips❤️

[@margaretmartinpt]

You are so welcome!

[@davidprice9976]

Just what i need as i dislocated and fractured my ankle in May this year, now pinned and plated

[@margaretmartinpt]

Excellent

[@tamitng]

Since retiring, I find that I wear slide in type of flip flops most of the time. Does this impact balance? 🍀

[@margaretmartinpt]

In today's video I present the two best exercise to improve balance for beginners and seniors. Enjoy!

[@sshibad]

thank you doctor come to mumbai india you are sweet

[@kathywhite2838]

Should the knees be soft and bent for the first exercise??

[@PostalTony]

Doing the beginners balance exercise but never sure how long to do it. A few minutes. Several or more minutes? Same with the chair squat exercises. How many sets and reps is a good starting point?

[@margielliott6389]

Wish I could blur the background and more clearly see your instructional movements. The busy background can be distracting. No disrespect or negative vibes at all. Thank you for all of the wonderful info.😊❤

[@Barb6106]

Agree.. the background is busy and she is hard to see

[@mikioni]

Thank you 👏

[@margaretmartinpt]

You're welcome 😊

[@LYNEDenis]

Where exactly or how do we find your play list from this video

[@josephmooney661]

Thanks!

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you!

[@user-sg4vy5rv2b]

So I got drop foot, how can I exercise when I got a brace on my foot? I have bad balance now because of the brace?

[@rebeccavaughan4342]

It wasn't easy for me. But I'll keep trying. I have osteoporosis and both knees and left ankle replacement. My left foot had a nerve clipped. Doesn't feel normal.

[@mizbev]

I would like to try these but unfortunately I can't do anything barefoot. I have neuromas under both feet with the left foot being worse. Putting sustained pressure on that foot can be painful.

[@VickyFullerWifeofIanFuller]

My knees hurt too bad to stand on 1 leg

[@soussantabatabai5727]

😍

[@cilla5277]

I have one leg shorter than the other so it's uncomfortable for me.
