I did these exercises in a program called SAIL offered at my local Senior Center. It was very beneficial to me and made many improvements to my overall health. Unfortunately it was cancelled during Covid19 and was not picked back up by my Senior Center later. I found I did much better with a group of people rather then on my own. I did the class three times a week. Hopefully they will get back to it soon. I've been advocating for it.

Absolutely helpful tips. Thank you for enabling seniors to take control of balance issues which is one of the primary causes for falls. I like the last exercise on propriation receptors being activated; something that looks easy and yet is not. Thank you, Mr Harlow for your contributions to the aging community in their fierce fight to retain physical independence.

Great knowledge and exercises. It seems that maintaining "balance" is often ignored or glossed over on health guru podcasts. Peter Atilla mentions it (I think he calls it something else), but mainly from keeping muscles strong, not the other issues (at least in podcasts I've seen). It's not "sexy" but it is really crucial and low hanging fruit. So many people (especially seniors) get hurt in falls, and often end up dying in the hospital thereafter. Thanks for developing these podcasts!

Great imformation. Thanks for sharing. The eye and head movement is an excercise I took up many years ago. It was recommended to keep the muscles of the eyes busy for better eyesight. I am approaching the 60 mark. I cannot really tell wether it works but while many younger people in my enviroment need glasses, I still can get through tests without problems. I took up the stand to sit a while ago and made it a habit to do it slowly every time I sit down. I still lack the last 2" but coming from about 6+" I call that an improvement. I do other excercises too and I increased my protein intake quite a bit. So far I lost some fat and gained more than 1" on circumference on the thighs. Some lower back pain improved as well. That in turn improved balance considerably. I´ll give the other excercises a shot as well.
