What kind of exercises will I be doing with Nymbl?
Nymbl is enjoyable and doesn’t require strenuous activity. It involves simple body exercises such as marching in place and shifting your weight to each leg. For those who are seated, Nymbl offers exercises to best suit your needs. These simple body exercises are done in combination with fun brain games, like trivia! To do Nymbl’s balance training app, all you need is a phone or tablet with internet access. No weights or other exercise equipment is needed!
How does Nymbl work?
Research shows that falls happen when we are distracted, not when we are focused on our balance. Nymbl helps prepare you for these real-life experiences and distractions by combining simple body exercises (that you normally do in your daily routine, such as lifting your foot over a rug) with brain games (like trivia) to challenge your body and mind at the same time. Nymbl’s scientifically proven app can improve balance by 30%!
