Thank you so much for this video! I am way out of shape from staying in my very little room to exercise apartment during the pandemic. I usually (not this summer) do standup paddleboarding which I feel keeps my feet and ankles strong. My thrice sprained ankle has been sore lately so I purchased a BOSU ball to get me back into good balance. I know these exercises will surely help me. Thank you again!
FINALLY!!! Some serious CERTIFIED, experienced professionals who really KNOW what they’re talking about…
Most health/medical information is presented by UNPROFESSIONAL idiots who gives poor advice!
Thanks god that you exist:)
Great exercises…but what do you do for those who don’t have someone to throw the ball to you?? A wall wouldn’t work because you’d have to get down each time…
Do you have a video showing all of this without so much zooming in and out??
This is the greatest tool for physical therapy. As in, it will send people to physical therapy!
Great job! Thank you for making this video!..I’m trying to improve my balance so I can improve my spins in salsa dancing.:)… I wonder if this would help me for that.
hello, im 6 weeks after my acl reconstruction surgery. when can i start doing these exercise? thanks in advance
I use it at a fitness center flat side up squat and twist then standup again while holding a medicine ball. Great little work out
i have a hard question for everybody, how can i have again balance, i am 36 years old and 3 years ago i have a car accident and i was 7 weeks in coma, please answer to roman_razvan@ ymail.com.
did some one tell you before that you look like Brie Larson especially your facial expressions, and thanks for your videos:D
When you’re balancing on one leg, should your knee and hip be in a locked position? of slightly bent? thanks!
No MS though found out I do need them they were also pretty tough..
im surprised you’re wearing shoes… so wobbly…. bosu is far more stable when barefoot..
I’m perplexed as to why Brad is dressed as a cat burglar in this video.
I’m hoping this will help me with rollerblading haha. Didn’t even realize how bad my balance was til I got out there. Thanks for the tips!
Can you do a video about rehabbing after a Lisfranc fracture and coming off months of being NWB?
Hello Bob and Brad, I recently shared a video of yours (stroke and the upper limb) with my physiotherapy year at Keele university. A tutor liked it but would have liked a little more usage of appropriate terminology. Thanks for your videos, they are a great help and I hope to see many more.
Perhaps its just the angle of filming but it looks like you are guarding your left leg, Brad. Is it coincidental that you chose to do single leg balance on your right?:) Thanks again for a morning smile!
I am in my 5th week of PT, and we are doing exercises, a little longer. I absolutely love it and it is working. I have a question though, the burning and stabbing pains afterwards, is horrible, any advice? I may have another 4 weeks, or not, due to insurance. I will be doing these exercises at home, after PT is over.This pandemic has closed gyms in Michigan.
I am so happy I’m discovered this channel. My balance is so messed up I couldn’t do any of these exercises but I will keep trying.
Love your videos. Thanks. So excited an exercise plan for people w MS. Is this a monthly subscription? What is the cost?
Thank you ao much for your time to make these MS video’s.
It’s fantastic!
They are very helpful!
Absolutely love you guys. Not only are your videos very helpful but they are entertaining too! Thank you.
All the things that you said were hard were actually pretty easy
Thank you for exercises that I can successfully do! Just the right amount of time and all helpful areas. It took me years to find this.
you guys are terrific-maybe beer drinkers should practice this lol
Thank you so much���� I was dx 15 years ago and I am still standing ♥️
Thank you for the chair exercise… I can’t get up off the floor so the other two are not doable right now, but will keep trying… xo
Thank you for creating this video I’m so glad to have found it! When doing these exercises regularly, how long till we see improvement? Or would that be a varied result which would be dependent on where your are when you first start the program?
can i do your workouts for my grandmother who had a stroke but she cant stand or walk without my aid sorry for my bad english
I’ve been diagnosed with MS for 10yrs & its gotten worse within the last 5 yrs and I have found these MS Workouts exercises THE BEST!
Thank you.
Thank you so very much! This truly helped me today. I will be watching your videos daily!! It took so long for me to find exactly what I needed,and this is it!! I can’t thank you enough!
Yep. even i was very sad since i workout well for abs but nothing was coming.And in a best female model 2012 exclusive interview she had mentioned about her strong abs with this 7 food items.have a look here bit.ly/1aM2lFS?=bmxev
This ended up being impossible for me to do…not even the single leg head nod.
My back is so weak that I can’t walk with a straight back. I have to use a walking aid, like old people use. Could I regain the use of my back by making it stronger through exercise and what exercise do you recommend? Thanks so much xxx
Great videos about MS! I was able to create a requested yoga class to one of my MS client by watching them. Thank you so much.
Due to MS, my body can’t do any of this exercise. Do you think do exercise with an indoor bike would help me?
You should know that this should be done barefoot, especially for rehab. Barefoot gives you a whole other dimension of sensory feedback.
Hey there, I’m a member at msworkouts.com but was browsing the channel for more tips on core strength and balance. The exercises in this video are ideal but I suffer with terrible vertigo and cannot lie flat on my back, I need to support my head at almost a 45 degree angle or I get EXTREMELY nauseated and dizzy. Could you suggest some modifications to the crunch and hip bridge, because I’d really like to get my core toned as well as improve my balance. Great resource ����☺️
Can’t do ab crunch. I feel it in my neck rather than abs, i.e. my neck gets tired much faster than ab. Do you have any tips? Thanks a lot in advance.
Thank you very much.. Really inspired by this video but need to ask that i am an ms female patient aged 26 yrs, I only have difficulties with balance which is being an obstacle to live an happy life can u suggest few tips as my ms was diagnosed 5 years back and i was injected as well but its been 5 to 6 yrs nw and m still hving problems in balance plz plz suggest something???
Thank you for these motivational videos because doing exercise alone does not motivate me
I cannot do any of these exercises properly. Or maybe my body is so weak it takes more for me to get to the point of being able to do them. My body is very weak
Hi, I have starting for myopathy. I have balance issues and not able to lift my leg while climbing steps. Will it good for those things
Holy crap. Most of the balance drills I could find were too easy, and then I found this…
AWhich exercises are eyes closed? Are first exercises on balance ball eyes closed? Cant tell…
These are excellent balace exercises for mountain bikers also
I am absolutely thrilled to have found this channel! Your explanations are spot-on and the enthusiasm is absolutely contagious! Not only do I have MS, but I have severe hyper flexibility in my knees and I am fighting every day to still be able to walk. Thank you so much for all the information!
My dog keeps putting his toy on my elevated foot messing up my balance
Thanks for taking care of people with MS! That is such an important work to do!
I am a yoga therapist, in Saint Louis, and I specialize in helping people with MS. I can see the improvements in my students after just a few months! It is amazing when students realize they can improve their health condition just by learning to focus on their body and recover balance, flexibility and strength (and confidence as a natural result!). Thanks again!
I don’t have MS, but these exercises are insanely overlooked in normal workout programs. Also I love the enthusiasm!
Thank you soooo much for this! That’s what I was looking for. It’s such a relief knowing that there is someone who knows our needs. Thanks again!
thank you so much they really motivated me to start exercising again with my MS i would lobe to have someone else to work with me as personal trainer and my parents live in nolanville texas i will might stay over their house for one or two months i need to know some information and much More Btw i am deaf mother of three children and living in florida let me know thanks Nancy

I got brain surgery like 20 years ago and said my motoric skills got injured. on my left leg I barley can do all your exercises. but on the right foot I barley can hold even 2 seconds. i am 47, do you think I could improve?
Great video, thanks for the tip about alignment with keeping head straight and shoulder back so it doesn’t throw your balance off
I legit have a stairs to my room, and it’s 80 degress. At the start I use to climb it with one my hands and foot. Now I can climb it without hands at all, can even climb it backward while holding dishes in my hand.
Any excercise if cannot walk on heels, I was a GB syndrome patient affected 3 years ago, can you help me with basic excercise to Improve my foot lifting
While I don’t have MS, I have had three strokes resulting in foot drop, loss of balance, and cramping. Cramping is a constant problem especially at night when going to sleep. Any suggestions?
Hey doctor Jo, I loved the video. I have an athletic level balance. Can I improve it doing these exercises like 3-4 times a week? I was thinking about doing plates.
My teacher teaches us about these since TODAY!��Nvm im a freak!
im not great at balancing, but i am fantastic at not falling when i do loose balance
Hi Dr. Jo! I just discovered your page and it’s terrific! I just can’t find any hamstring exercises. Do you have a collection of them? Thanks for this. I’m a dancer and these are so valuable!
“However, standing on the platform side of the BOSU® Balance Trainer is not recommended, as this information is also stamped on the bottom of the unit. Standing on the dome side offers a balance challenge with the least amount of risk or injury.” from BOSU FAQ
Hi Doc Can Do the 1st 3 Rombergs and the last 3 but the foot in front middle 4 5 an 6 cant
But I didnt do those for a Policeman but thats a another story.
But I have Ataxia from drinking over the years. Which part of balance problem but I will try these again
Day 12, I was looking at what i am gonna get tomorrow and just wanted to try the first exercise. I think I have no balance at all. Let’s see what i am gonna do tomorrow. i am playing big and choosing the hardest out of 3 optional exercises for tomorrow.
Mr. Bear loves that bee! Cutest thing to watch him play with it!
Can someone analyse balance and stability workout and show us a comprehensible progression to master it
I have MS and these exercises are…kinda easy? for me at least I lost my balance true but my issue is stamina and yeah ofcourse I get tired more easyly…but i thought these could help me walk more streight…
I can do the pistol squad without problems.. but standing on my toes is impossible..��
Better off working on his posture! I have had MS 25 years and can see what he needs to work on! MS society are so far behind. He’s very stiff in his hips strength exercises don’t work very well with MS because it is not the muscles that have the problem! Coordination is the problem starts off with good posture.
A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis has led Jennifer to require vehicle modifications. The process is very expensive.

I have brain stroke on21 June 2019 but still now I didnot recover.My knee don’t bend,what to do on that case.
Thank you! Bob and Brad,! I am keeping this video for myself until I can get some help. I am dying to try these exercises.������������
These are great for multiple sclerosis I try them in the pool first ��
Used to be in a wheelchair. Now me walking and still doing exercises. If I don’t my body gets slack.
I have recently started trying to work on my balance and have gotten annoyed because nothing really feels difficult. I have always had good balance even while pregnant but I wanted to get better! This video is exactly the sort of thing that I was looking for! It took me a little while to find my balance on the ball but after I got it, the workout was challenging and rewarding. Thank you!
Amazing!! I still cannot do more than simply kneel on the physioball, but this is really helping me regain my balance after an injury. Thank you!
I love you guys and what you do, but this is damn near impossible to do. It’s not even “give it a shot you might get tired” impossible, it’s “there’s no way at all”. I can’t even balance on the ball, let alone reach out with an arm or a leg. Would love it if you updated this video to have an easier alternative.
Funny, it has been out over 5 years and only about 174 folks tried it! I see why! MAN! I had to MODIFY those stability ball moves, mercy! LOL!
very nice..sir i can’t do exercise because there is so much pain itching burning in my neck.
Perfect as a short session after lunch for us office rats!
Thanks for the upload:)
My neck pains while doing this. Abs, diaphragm breathing all ok, but neck is where i break down, even after 30 sec.
oh my…never mind..i just read your FAQ on the ebook haha:D
Hi fitnessblender! I just brought your ebook (fat loss program) and had a question about this particular exercise: What can we do if a ball is not available?:/ I really cannot afford one right now as I’m not working this summer and trying to keep a low budget! Is there another way to do this exercise without the ball? thanks!
First seconds he said. It is cold. Seconds later he standing there with a t shirt. Hmmm…. All for a few bucks.
Hi there. These exercises can apply to neuro myelitis optica spectrum disorder. It was known as Devics disease for decades and was always thought to be a rare but nasty form of MS. Now they know it is a separate condition. The exercises should help I assume with us.
Too bad “Ninja” was glorified in global marketing. They are the sneaky night-assassins. Not a very honorable trade.
Will this help a brain injury? I heard balance exercises really help the brain.
You don’t have to be injured to benefit from this. I would assume that the Basu could greatly increase athletic performance correct?
I have spina bifida meningomyelocele because of that I also have week knees and back, I use KAFOs and elbow crutches to balance.
Can you please show me some exercise to improve my balance.
I really want to walk without those crutches
Guess you could say, you’re going to get a new balance, am I right?
I have flat feet and when I put all my weight on one foot and stand on my toes it feels like a small bone or ligament pops in my arch. It can do that every now and then but idk if it’s a bone spur or what but eventually it goes away… I really wanna try these exercises I’m just afraid I cant… Same with squats. I used to do a lot of squats and it helped me tremendously especially with my asthma and my leg strength. But from months of overnight conditioning at a grocery store the hard floors must have popped some nerves in my knees and did something else to my knee cause I’ll get pinching sensations every now and then and also everytime I bend down and stand back up my right knee bones just crunch. I hate it cause I feel like I cant exercise like I used to. I don’t want to make anything worse but my goal is to one day be able to exercise again.
I love your video. I suffer from loss of waking from multiple sclerosis. I’ve gotten it back but not the way it was I know it’s because if my balace. Your video will help me a lot
Yo are awesome man. I’ve been practicing this for past 3 weeks and I want to let you know that it actually worked.Thanks a lot
so I’m wondering about the board you guys got. If that’s a scrap wood, where can I get one? Also speaking of the scrap materials how and what can I do to get one? I’m doing most of my exercises on budget, one of which I’m trying to craft and improvise with.
Oh Em Gee that guy is such hi slave and master punisher
He is really putting that guy in the blue through some punishing exercises.
Damn
There is a trick to balance. It doesn’t require exercise or any balance training.
You simply stand up and relax your right foot. The heal, the ball, the toes, the side… none of these should be pushing independently into the floor.
When your right foot is relaxed, begin to pay attention to your right knee. The entire knee joint. What you want to do with this knee joint is hold it directly over top of the relaxed foot. If you want, you can imagine a weight suspended from a string hanging from the center of that right knee. What you want to do is keep that suspended weight directly over the arch of your foot, so no letting it move forward or back or to either side.
It’s not complicated. All you are doing is relaxing all the muscles in your right foot while keeping your right knee centered over it’s arch. Just two things. Really simple.
And when you do it, your balance is perfect. Instantly.
Try lifting your left foot. So long as your right foot remains relaxed and your right knee stays over top that arch, you won’t fall over.
It works for the left foot also.
See, your mind already knows how to balance your body. You were born knowing how. And then you learned to balance by trying.
This trick undoes that learning and gets you back to natural. It works by quasi-hacking into the involuntary part of the subconscious mind. You can control and use this hidden part of the mind, you just have to know how to ask.
This is the ask for balance.
Cheers
I just forced my mom to buy a yoga mat��thanks for inspiring me to get the fuck off the couch��I wanna start practicing on my balance so i could learn more stuff after that like hand stands or front flips. I heard you need good balance to learn to do hand stands.
What’s better static exercises befor daynamic or daynamic first
Y’all really do provide alot of excellent and helpful information, along with some entertainment, in these videos. Thanks.
Are you goofy? To do an exercise standing on one foot requires good balance. Someone that wishes to improve balance can’t do that. The simplest way is to get into a bow stance and hold it.
Fuck this im done im never doing parkour again. And im sirious. I sukk!
I was expecting some higher level balance activities. Good variety of balance exercises!
4:17 the motorcycle in the background matched with the facial expression and posture makes him appear to be farting his ass off…. thank you
Did some of these excises,for the muscles,after hip replacement,
I’m rebuilding strength in my legs after a car accident last year that fractured my pelvis. I’m getting back into skateboarding and these videos are very helpful for regaining my balance and leg strength. Thank you!
Hey TP, first..thanks for the videos. 2nd, for Balance Star and Tree Pose is that 2-3 sets as well? What time goal are we shooting for on Tree Pose? Thanks for the help. I’m healing up from being paralyzed on my right side and really need my balance/strength back so these videos are really helpful.
In my training I learned that hands close to body offers better balance.
Great videos! Please increase the volume of your speech audio. The intro is nice and loud but then your voices are pretty soft in comparison.
Comment from London, was about to visit a physio & found this amazing beginners video.thank you you are helping someone in need! xxx
@rwese That is a great suggestion. Also doing this barefoot causes the ankle complex to have to work harder which equals more strength and more control. Thanks for the comment.
Daniel
I had a pretty serious cerebral stroke three years ago caused by A-Fib. Balance was a main problem working on these exercises every day is absolutely essential to getting that balance back.
I am sure that you will find good way to learn on workouts Unflexal handbooks.
Usually i don’t subscribe but this really helps! Thanks man. Im after many injuries and this helps me to keep my sh1t together:D
tree pose is not that hard
closes eyes
falls
… I meant to do that
I have SPMS with drop foot. At first, it was sooo difficult because I had to adapt to some of the movements (drop foot). I also breathe with my belly instead of my lungs.Why? Because it’s the proper way to breathe and it also extends the lungs.
This video was wonderful! Thank you.
Is there a beginner, beginner exercise if I can’t balance on one foot? I have chemo (taxol) induced neuropathy in my feet, legs and fingers. I can feel my feet (to some degree) after a year of PT and laser therapy but I still haven’t mastered balance on one foot or walking with one foot directly in front of the other. Any ideas?
Leg extension 1:50 (for 30 sec)
Hip Bridge 5:20 (6 sets of 7)
Ab crunch 8:55 ( 1:30 min)
I know im suuuuuper late,but i have a question. How many times do i need to do this?
One leg squat on the balance beam is 100% easier for me than just standing on one foot on my toes, so basically his first w.o demonstration was harder than his last one for me… is that bad?!?
This is exactly what I need. My ankles are notoriously weak, and it has always limited me. Thank you for this.
Last tip he forgot to mention. Make sure there is no big rocks around Incase you fall over. You will most certainly smash your face in or side of your skull possibly leading to your death. Take care to practice in an open soft grassy area for maximum protection against falling over. A sprained joint or bloody knee or bruised shoulder will heal. A bashed in face by a local rock sticking up will certainly require reconstructive surgery if you survive ��
This reminds me of martial arts. I say that because it is one of the things I am at using and learning. I get how to excerise now. I just want to be the best I can. For me sports, martial arts, studying and learning things, not that far apart. Reason is because I believe that for certain sports, it helps people defend and have fun.
Thank you so much for the videos! They really motivated me to start exercising again with my Ms
Awesome one, it was really fun! I enjoyed the challange of all these exercises! The planks were the easiest:)
This is exactly what I was looking for, i stopped surfing n skating n just been lifting lately, or doing nothjn, so I’ve been gettin really tight and unbalanced, this video is perfect, free, simple in practice, effective, and no bs talkin through out the video, straight to the point,thank you
Gosh you two are sooo good. I just watched an older video from 2016 i think it was…for stress between shoulder blades. You cover everything…and more. Thank you so much for what goes into these.
Excellent exercises to improve balance. I’m an old man of 54 yo and I practice Tae Kwon Do (green belt). Salutes from México ����������
I have hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia.. Iam just 34 and beginning to acquire symptoms
Will ur exercises help

i am soccer player and i feel like i will become messi if i master these 7 exercises
I was discharged in August 2019 after being in hospital for nine whole months in total. My stroke affected my left side, and my vision and my cognition were also affected. I would not have known where to start writing this, and it’s taken a while, but I’m assured it’s all good practice and will help me. (But I do apologies for any mistakes! …spelling and grammar….etc.) They say patience is a virtue, and that may actually be more true after stroke. However, I do see improvements every day. Stay strong and just talk about how you feel. I had numerous areas of my brain that were affected – I become very emotional and I cry sometimes. I was not depressed, just a little bit ‘wazed’ off with my brain.
My journey all began back in November 2016. I had been feeling very tired for quite some time and my husband came in from work one evening to find me very drowsy and not very responsive. He called for an ambulance. Shortly after I had a seizure and then another four more on the way! I had a blood test and they found I was severally anemic, with a blood count of 23, so I needed 4 units of blood, which needed to be done very quickly as otherwise, I would not have survived. This did wonders for me and I was in hospital for around another week, then discharged with plans to do further investigations as an outpatient. After been home for around a week, I had another seizure and was taken back into the hospital. I had a few more, which led up to my first stroke on 12th December. I spent all of Christmas in hospital and was making a good recovery up until 31st December. On New Year’s Eve, I had my second stroke, which affected another area of my brain. This knocked me back, but I carried on with my recovery. I was starting to get quite down, but then my first grandchild told me about herbal remedy of one Dr Odia who was said to have cured Stroke. I was in hospital and so I had something to focus on. After a week or so I was moved home. We had to contact the Herbalist for his herbs. I was doing really well for a couple of months as I had just starting to take a couple of steps. While I was at home, I was visited by a Different Strokes volunteer as they heard I was recovering in months after taken the herbs. they where also a stroke survivor. I was inspired! So, when I was well cured, I joined the Different Strokes ‘family’ ( #dsfamily). The peer support is fantastic and I am now even involved in running the Leeds Central group! I am fully cured. I survived strokes and I’m here to tell the tale! Contact Dr Odia via email ( [email protected])
This is 100% the exercises that my Physical Therapist gave me for my sprained ankle.
Hi doctor i have diffuse disc bulging at c5-c6 level effacing narrowing both lateral recess with possible indentation to existing nerve roots. C4-c5 and c5c6 IVD shows loss of bright signal on T2W image s/o disc desiccation.
What should i do and is this a permanent or reoccurring problem?

Anybody who does weigh lifting needs to incorporate alot of this into their routine, especially strongman athletes, this is crucial
All things aside, wht type of hair product u used for the pic in thumbnail?
Hey guys! I came up with a few modifications for all the exercises with the physio ball:)
Instead of the Supermans you can try and put your hands on the ground while keeping your knees on the ball and do the exercise in this plank position.
And while Daniel does the Rotations on the ball, you could try to either just balance on it or do torso twists.
I hope this helped some of you to build your balance up to these difficult moves.
Thanks for this great workout!
Awesome. Like you aid, these are drills that can be done anywhere and require no or little equipment. I will be adding these to my training. Thanks for posting
I wish you guys were helping my father. He has been in therapy for almost two years because of falling due to Parkinson’s. They emphasize on strength training but don’t do much balance training.
Very good excercises for anyone who needs to work on balance. Thanks for all of your tips and advice.
Not enough strength to lift both legs without holding on— will have to work on this goal.
These exercises are fantastic and extremely beneficial! A family member had a mild stroke 90 days ago and is now doing these exercises. His balance and gait have improved tremendously! These exercises are different (and probably better) than the ones my family member was doing with his physical therapist. Thank you!
