G'day everyone, welcome back to another exercise video. What we're going to go through in this
exercise video today, is another quick balance routine. It's different to the other balance
routines we've done before, so let's get into it. Standing up nice and tall next to your chair. One
foot in front of the other, just like this. So, one foot, toes of one foot touching the
heels of the other foot. You're holding on to the chair. Once you've found your balance,
you're going to take your hand off. We're just going to hold this for 30 seconds.
Relax into it, focus on what you're doing. If you do come out of balance, hold on to that chair,
get yourself back, or straight back into it, making sure you're up nice and tall,
excellent work.
And three, two, one, excellent work, holding on to that chair.
Changing legs, other foot in front now, making sure your toes aren't splayed out,
or your feet aren't splayed out, they're both facing the front. You're standing heel to toe.,
up nice and tall, taking those hands off, holding for 30 seconds,
excellent work. Stay focused, don't get distracted, put it in for this balance session,
really focus on what you're doing. The more you challenge yourself with this balance, the better
you're going to get. We've done twenty seconds, ten seconds to go. Focus, five seconds. Three,
two, one, excellent work. Holding onto the chair, shaking out those legs.
The next exercise we're going to do is similar to what we just did.
What we're going to do is some tight rope walking, or walking heel to toe.
Before you do this, you need to make sure you've got some space you can, do the walking
for six steps forward. We're going to do six steps backwards as well. Make sure your floor is clear
of any trip hazards. So, if there's any pillows, any rugs, any of the grandchildren's toys,
whatever it may be lying around the house, make sure they're out of the way for this exercise.
Once everything is clear, let's get into it. You're up nice and tall, we're going to walk
six steps forward, six steps back. You're going at your own speed, walking that tight rope,
nice and slow, concentrating on what you're doing, you're up nice and tall. That's three steps, four,
five, and six, excellent work. If you need to hold on to the chair, or a rail whilst doing this,
sliding your hand across, that's fine, As well.
We're going to walk six steps backwards, so focus on what you're doing. One,
two, three, really focus, go at your own speed, four,
five, and last one, six, excellent work. Shaking out those legs. We're going to do that two more
times. Shaking out those legs. Remember, focus on what you're doing, don't get distracted.
Let's go, walking that tight rope. One, two, three,
four, five, and last one, six, excellent work. Let's go backwards now,
one. Nice and slow, concentrate, two, this isn't easy, three, four,
five, excellent work, last one, six, great work. Shaking out those legs again.
Going to do the exact same thing again, one last time. Up tall, core tight, chest up. One,
two, concentrate, three,
four, five, and six, great work. Let's go backwards now. One, two, three,
four, five, and six, excellent work. You're taking your time; you're going at your own
pace for that exercise. You can pause the video if you need to and go at your own pace,
and then skip forward, get back into the next exercise. Shaking out those legs,
taking a deep breath in, and out. Now what we're going to do is some,
forwards walking on our toes, and then we're going to do some backwards walking on our toes
as well. We're up on those toes, we're just going to walk forward, like this,
excellent work. Coming down, we're going to walk backwards now on our toes. Concentrate on this,
excellent work. Nice and slow, bring those feet together, you're not stepping through, great work.
With the forwards walking, you're stepping through with your movement, like this.
One foot in front of the other, following along with me, that's it, great work.
Now backwards, you're bringing those feet together, you come back,
like this so, they're in line with this movement, you're not stepping through.
Excellent work, going your own speed. And last one, stepping back, excellent work.
Let's go again, hop onto those toes, stepping forward, doing your best, great work. Now, let's
step back, alternating feet with each step back. Stepping back, great work. Coming back again,
leading with the other foot. Let's go, one more, stepping back, excellent work. Shaking out those
legs, taking a deep breath in, and out. Let's stand on one leg now. To finish
off, we're going to go for thirty seconds. Holding onto the chair, bring that leg up,
that’s it, you can find your balance. You're following along with me.
Let's go for twenty more seconds. You can place that foot wherever it feels comfortable,
excellent work. Ten seconds to go, if you come out of balance, pop your foot down,
get straight back into it. Try to do it without holding onto the chair, keep practicing,
three seconds to go, two, and one, excellent work. Shaking out those legs. Let's do the same,
on the other side now. Holding onto the chair, up nice and tall, leg up,
holding for thirty seconds. It is normal to have one side which is better than the other.
Keep practicing this exercise, and you will get better on both sides.
So we've got just over fifteen seconds to go,
and five seconds. Five, four, three, two, one, excellent work. Shaking out
those legs. Taking a deep breath in, and out. And we're all done for those balance exercises
today, I hope you enjoyed them. If you did have a bit of trouble with these exercises, that's fine.
