Get MORE out of balance exercises ✅
When you’re walking, you typically encounter various obstacles and distractions in which your body has to react to. You’re likely not just standing and hyper-focusing on an area, like most people do in traditional balance exercises ☝🏽
Get more out of your balance exercises by adding movement and challenging your body to REACT ↔️↕️🔄
My favorite ways to do this are adding arm movements and head movements. Yes, your legs are still stationary but your body is having to react efficiently to keep you upright ☝🏽
⚠️ For Safety: I am doing this in the corner of a wall. This is one of my favorite ways to ensure safety with balance exercises. The point of balance exercises is to challenge your balance so you have to be prepared appropriately. Use support as needed ⚠️
Set a timer for 30-60 seconds and see how these variations go! If they’re really difficult at first ITS OKAY! Balance takes practice 🙌🏼
