Dear Total Balance Company Family,
And 2021 comes to a close! What a year it has been. Our journey is unique to us, and how we react to our surroundings. As I look back on the year now gone, I see so many new things we had never experienced before. The new connections, the lost friends, departed family members and dark clouds of sunlight hidden behind a global suffering. Yet when I look closer, venturing into areas I had ignored, I see the first signs of green grass pushing through the dark soil. I see smiling faces that have turned their frowns upside down. I see adventurers walking the paths brand new in this world. I see focus on living and what is important compared to what was important. I see families, friends, long lost souls reuniting with a vision of humanity avoiding the negativity thrust upon us. I see more than hope. I see belief. Belief that our own power, far stronger than the thoughtlessness thrown at us, is taking over again. A force so powerful that we each individually have a commitment, mandatory, to take our lives back and lead the way. I believe. I believe in Love. I believe in Laughter. I believe in Goals. I believe in Dreams coming true. I believe in Me and I believe in You.
I do not see the past wasted, rather an awakening. Refocus on what we control. Attitude and Effort. No matter the opposition, these two characteristics WE control.
I urge you today to make that life changing decision to make NOW best. Do the things you wish you had. Don’t put off till tomorrow what is best to do today. Do not wait for the New Year to start the best year ahead. It can go from December to …. Never ending. Make plans, work for them. Dream big and make them bigger. NEVER EVER underestimate your potential and stand up with pride in being you. Total Balance Company is committed to helping your mental and physical strength in progress and a life better than you believed in. Our body is a temple and our Soul is the occupant of a palace worth taking care of. Let us help you, help you.

Total Balance Company INSPIRATION OF THE Month – December 1st, 2021
My name is Anne Weiskircher; I am 70 years old and have a fairly common list of complaints due to aging–arthritis in my left knee and both hands as well as bursitis in both hips that flares up from time to time causing me to walk with a cane and/or receive a steroid injection. I have also done physical therapy for the bursitis. A few years ago, I had bunion surgery on both feet (one after the other) requiring a 6-month recovery altogether. Before that surgery, I had done a few exercises along with riding a stationary bicycle or walking on a treadmill. But everything went by the wayside once I recovered from the surgery and we relocated from Arizona to Kentucky and lived in our motor home for several months while looking for a home to purchase.
I was having some difficulty going up and down the stairs in the motor home and then in our new home which has 5 steps from the garage into the house. I was unsteady on my feet and had more frequent flareups of the bursitis. I wasn’t able to get down on the floor to play with my young grandchildren unless I was close to a bed or sofa so I could pull myself up again. Then my husband gave me a Total Balance Company’s balance board for Christmas 2020. I began using it at the Beginner level right away. After about 6 weeks as a Beginner, I began to feel much more confidence while walking and could go up and down stairs much more easily. I still had a hard time getting off the floor, though. In some of the classes, Dan showed exercises for getting up, but I couldn’t do what he showed because my big toes had both been fused at the lower joint during bunion surgery. I sent an email explaining it to Dan, and he sent me back a link to a short video he created just for me showing me an alternative way of getting up. I’m still not very graceful when I get up off the floor, but I can do it without pulling up on the Total Balance Company or a piece of furniture. After that, I started doing the Intermediate/Advanced level classes interspersed with the Beginner, then switched to the Advanced for most of my workouts.
The Total Balance Company has improved my balance, posture, and muscle strength. I haven’t had a flare up of bursitis since July 2020 because some of the exercises improve the hip flexors. That alone makes the Total Balance Company worthwhile for me. This summer I was able to squat down in my flower bed to pull weeds. But best of all, I was able to go trick or treating with my youngest grandchildren (ages 3 and 5) this year for Halloween! I took them all around our subdivision, which is built on a hill. Our home is located at the bottom of the hill. We walked all around about a mile and a half up hill, around the corner, down a steeper hill, then around another corner back to my house. I wasn’t winded and nothing hurt. I couldn’t do that last year. I also walk my dog every morning, although he is small and old so doesn’t walk very far. I walk him rain or shine and will continue walking him through the winter.
I love my Total Balance Company! I feel that doing the workouts regularly has improved my life tremendously. I follow the workouts on You Tube so I get good all-around exercise. I’m constantly amazed at how many different exercises they have come up with to use the Total Balance Company. I appreciate learning how to stretch properly too, and the band workouts are great. It keeps my workouts fresh, never boring. I will continue using my 60uP to stay in good shape without fear of falling. If Bob Eubanks can do it, I certainly can!
TIP of the NEWSLETTER
Life should be 24 hours a day and working out should not dominate that time. Living should be your favorite activity. As such, break your workouts up into smaller segments and repeat them for the day. For example, just getting up on the Total Balance Company and rocking and balancing every time you walk past it, maybe ten times a day for one minute will also add brain to body training. Pick your favorite exercise and do it 5 times throughout the day or if you struggle with a movement just take a moment for thirty seconds often and see how the results will come. The only way to not progress is to not do. Remember, practice may not make perfect, but without a doubt will make better, and a constant, gradual better can have huge results.
See you soon, I Hope.
Your Fan,
Dan
