Be Well: How to Improve Your Balance

Welcome back to be. Well, time now for fitness in four. You know, as we grow a little bit older, it's very common for our balance to diminish. That's right. It gets worse. But strengthening our legs can really help us improve our balance, help us improve also our cognitive well being in the process. So here to show us some of those things, the leg balance drills that we really need to do. I mean, it's amazing because you guys are a couple and this is so good, you know, we're, we're great friends. So this is so great to do together with a friend or you could do it by yourself. So Lane talk me through it. Ok. So now me being 59 and him being 64 balance for us is important in our mobility. So the first thing we're gonna do is leg up. Ok. Ok. Yeah, then we're gonna cross our arm. How hard do our legs have to go? Is it ok? If we stumble like that, we do it. It's ok. It's ok for the very first time you will stumble, that's guaranteed is not actual lava. Ok? So maybe hold a couch or a chair while you're doing this to begin with. Well, for this is the more advanced one. Ok. We're gonna show you the one that's easy where you have an accountability partner or you have a wall or something or a chair for this one. Now, for the more advanced and the more adventurous person, your foot is going up a little bit or all the way up, then you're gonna cross your arms across your chest. You're gonna close your eyes and then the most challenging part, you're gonna turn your head to the right. OK. OK. OK. And then you turn it to the left and then back to the center. OK. OK. Now, practice this every single day, I guarantee you you're gonna do well with that and make sure you switch legs as you. So now you have an accountability partner. Oh, you have a wall or a chair. You can just hold on to each other and we're gonna eliminate one step, which is the, the arm across the chest. All went to the rock head. Se sorry, sorry. So we're gonna put our right foot up. Then we gonna close our eyes. Now turn your head to the right. It's much easier with Elizabeth here on the right now to the center, to the left and back to the center leg down. And I saw in the core as well working. Exactly. But do you feel in the hip also? And also the standing light because it's holding all of your weight as we do that. Exactly. So now we should do the left side. We're gonna do the same thing leg up. Ok? You're gonna close your eyes, you, you got the head going right to the right and then head going left and then we're going back in the middle. Ok. Ok. What are the benefits again of this? Now this for ladies, if we walk in heels, this helps us with our balance for men in sports and you wanna know something even with, with your partner, it helps with you with, with your entire um hip flex. So everything right? And you even think like when you step off of a curb and you step funny like being a able to recover when you lose your balance for that minute, like really being able to do that gracefully. And what's one of the first thing the doctor want? Um tell us as we get older not to fall because it's hard for us to recover as we hurt our hair. So even the recovery we do here helps us. Thank you guys for you guys.
