My Friday crew has been getting very well balanced!! Single leg standing as demonstrated is an important balance move to work on for reducing fall risk with walking and other dynamic movements. If you are in the Malden/Melrose area come check out one of my classes, message me for more info!

Great ideas by my counterpart at Malden Senior Center Julio! Julio you got the videography down here, I gotta get some tips from you :)
Have 4 minutes to work on your balance? Try some tandem standing! (A clip from my REACH class at the Malden Senior Center) Use a chair or kitchen sink/counter for safety as needed. Working on my videography here but tandem stance is with one heel directly in front of the other toe, which I explain some in this clip. A great way to help improve balance and reduce falls risk.
