A collection of balance exercise videos

Improving balance requires doing exercises consistently.  But it doesn't require carving out a special time.  The idea is to find a few favorite exercises that you can remember easily.  Then do them as often as possible.  Spending 5-10 minutes every day doing a simple exercise like balancing on one leg is more effective in the long run then only doing balance exercises once a week.

When I was doing physical therapy to rehab a knee in 2012, I had homework to do between PT sessions.  Those exercises didn't take long, but it was important that I did them at least once a day.  Improving balance was a key goal.
