Balance exercises

I was pleased to find this info online and will be doing the exercises every day! Thought I'd share.

I think it may have something to do with the amount of alcohol one consumes (hic!)

Of course doing exercises means one has to stand(?), thus causing balance problems in the first place, the only safe way to exercise is by laying back in a comfy armchair with one's feet raised on a foot stool and slowly waggling one's toes - that's all the exercise I do, and even that is very exhausting (yawn, yawn - night, night folks!!!).

This is my balance exercise!

I practise standing on one leg several times a day as I have significant balance problems, due to trouble with my left inner ear.

Hey that was good. I tried to talk my grandson into a unicycle last year, cos he's good on a pogo stick and I'd seen a couple of youngsters nearby riding them.

Sue darlin' - can do the ankle exercise whilst sitting down - but I'm rather more comfortable whilst doing it - sitting in my riser/recliner armchair with the foot rest extended. Have been flexing my toes and ankles for the last 5 minutes. I think that is enough (yawn, yawn, yawn - very tiring) - time for nap again.

After the tumble I took this morning perhaps I should do some balance exercises - or simply carry the chihuahua instead of tripping over her

Re: Balance exercises

Wax in the ears can cause a person to lose balance as can poor eye sight or wearing glasses that are not correct for ones eyes.

Any exercise is good for you and is recommended daily.

I've only just come across this thread Sue. I'm going to take a look at these exercises. Thanks.

Awesome! My son-in-law has a unicycle but hasn't tried to learn riding it yet. I'll have to show him your video.
