Hey everyone, Steve Avellino with Reverse the Aging Processes and welcome to The Classroom.

Now, as your coach, I want to remind you that we are all athletes and our sport is the activities of daily living. My 63-year-old student and her activities of daily living are somewhat different than my 106-year-old student. Okay? We all start where we are. If you have questions about any of the moves, feel free to email me. Let me know if they’re too difficult or too easy, for that matter.

In 2024, the Journal of American Medical Association mentioned that annually over 14 million people in this country will call 911 due to a fall. And there’s probably millions more that do not make that call.

It is very difficult to have good balance if you do not have good posture. But you can’t walk around all day telling yourself, ‘I got to stand up straight. I have to sit up straight,’ it just doesn’t work. We CAN retrain the brain and the body. We CAN do work on the software (communication between the brain and the muscles) and the hardware (muscle activation).

In my 4-week Posture & Balance course we’ll be looking at the postural muscles, retraining them for sitting and standing. We’re going to be looking at center of mass over base of support so we don't lean forward or hunch. We’re also going to take a look at reactive neuromuscular training where we use an external stimulus to kind of trick the subconscious brain. As just one example, many of my students have told me that learning to ground the three pads of their feet may be their most important take-away, it’s actually helped prevent falls for some of them. For static stability, there is probably nothing better. In the fourth and final video, I put all of the exercises together and you’ll be able to follow along for a complete balance and posture workout.
