    today I’m going to show you one of my favorite balance exercises that ticks all the boxes for improving your balance and preventing falls now one of the common problems with balance exercises like standing on one leg is that they only challenge your static balance which means your balance in one position whereas this little exercise does your dynamic balance as well it’s called the tightroppe walk and here’s how it looks you’re going to stand on your floor and you’re going to imagine you’ve got a tight rope going out in front of you like that and all you’re going to do is go heel to toe walking along that tight rope so your heel must touch your toe as you walk and you want to do this as slowly as possible it’s kind of like riding a bike if you go really fast it’s actually quite easy but if you slow it down you start to wobble a bit and that is where the improvements happen just 2 minutes of practice of that per day can be transformative give it a try and drop a comment below and let us know what you

      Thanks Will !
      Just love you, I always feel like you’re my sweet Nephew, that has stopped by, to help auntie stay on top of her game.
      I appreciate you and all of your knowledge!
      P.S., so much more challenging than static, one leg balancing !
      I feel all of the other muscles working!

      Good practice for passing a driving sobriety test! I've worried about being perceived as drunk if I ever get asked to do this – brilliant.

      Figure skater here (for 59 years). This is excellent, and I'm always exercising for balance, strong legs, feet, ankles, and, of course, core.
      I also walk on top of curbs (deserted parking lots) and walk backward. UPHILL. Looking 12-15:years younger, according to people.

      I am realy a big fan of all your exercises.For me there is obe problem. Yoz show sooo many exercises and such an amoubt if possibilities, that I feel almost lost. How can I start with 5/6 exercises to create a daily routine? Where can I find something similar?

      Hi Will, love the videos as always, just to let you know something.I used to do this in Taichi, It was called walking on rice paper. I still do this, it is great for getting focusing on your balancing and also for your mind. Thanks again my friend. John.
