I'd never seen the third method. Thanks! I just tried it. Increasing dumbbell weight, even at low weights, adds what feels like a helpful challenge.
I also tried it using canned beans as the weights. They're as effective for the balance part as dumbbells. I'm not ready to try buckets of water—at least not indoors.
I'm having a fine time with it. This is a great use of social media. There's so much to be said for helping people find a way to improve their lives, at low cost to them.
I’m definitely going to try the third method, in the hope of improving my balance walking down stairs while carrying a basket of laundry and trying to dance around small dogs.
As a younger man in construction I used to walk even two-story walls, (5 1/2" wide). I've since developed Meniere's Disease, which is a slow breaking down of the inner ear. Pretty sure this wouldn't help me....
A fun way to really develop balance would be learning to use a stand-up paddleboard. It requires the use of thousands of micro-muscles in your core which naturally atrophy if you live a sedentary life.

I'm going to play around with this.
Awesome! Have fun, my friend, and let mr know how it goes. 💪

Thanks, Curtis...and I sincerely wish you all the best with managing your condition. 🙏
And yes, there are some excellent advanced tools for balance. I didn't go into them because it's best in a post like this, to keep things basic.
