Improve balance and prevent falls with a five-day online course that teaches five factors: strength, reflexes, appropriate assumption, inner ear, and moving without relying on vision through at-home videos.
Guide yourself through five 20-second, eyes-closed exercises, feet together, right foot in front of left, left foot in front, and one-foot balances on each side, to generate your balance score.
Engage in a whole body tune-up to improve balance and circulation from feet to head, including ankle circles, hip work, chest opening, and spine twists.
Day 2 offers gentle yoga and meditation, guiding breath, balance, and mindful alignment through safe, prop-supported poses from mountain and warrior to tree and pyramid, ending with a five-minute meditation.
Practice Qigong and breathing to improve balance, relax the nervous system, and feel energy flowing through meridian channels and acupuncture points.
Learn tai chi and joint exercises to improve balance, build a strong base in the legs, and boost bone density through controlled weight shifts, stepping, and gentle tapping.
Master balance with day 5's focus on functional fitness and reflex deck activities, teaching squats, stepping, hopping, and reflex testing using safe props.
Perform five 20-second balance tests, starting with feet together, eyes closed, and hands on hips, tracking losses from eyes open, hands leaving hips, one-foot lifts, and postural sway.
Celebrate your progress by staying consistent and continuing with the 3-week balance course. Build on yoga, Tai chi, Qigong, and practical fall prevention to maintain momentum and lasting resilience.
Falls can be fatal.
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries for older Americans. (National Council on Aging)
If you are over 65, you have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall each year.
Over 800,000 patients a year are hospitalized because of a fall injury, most often because of a head injury or hip fracture.
You can prevent falls.
You can begin right now by taking simple steps to increase your balance, flexibility, strength and reflexes.
Balance for Life's 5 Day program shows you how.

“I highly recommend the 5 days balance course for anyone looking to improve balance.The course lasted only 5 days but provided foundation to improvement of balance. It was encouraging to receive feedback to my questions, challenges and alternate exercises to keep me on task. Pre and post balance assessments documented progress I had made in 5 days......40% improvement in balance! Thanks to Nate and Mikey for leading a productive and fun experience.”

“The 5 day balance course was fun and a good reminder that you can’t take balance for granted! I learned so many new things that go into optimizing balance that I didn’t know before. This course showed me there are steps to take to minimize the chance of a fall and just takes a few minutes every day. After my balance test at the end of the course, I saw my balance improve by 60%! Thank you for a really easy to follow, fun and inspiring start to regular balance training.”
