WARNING: do not do any exercises if you are injured. SUPPORT YOURSELF FULLY ON A STABLE SURFACE (NOT A CHAIR THAT CAN TIP OVER).
Seek medical advice & clearance before any physical activity!
Easy balance tip…
No matter if you’re a footballer practicing for the World Cup, or a horse rider trying to stay on over a massive downhill jump, playing golf, or even if you’re walking a big, boistrous dog …you need good balance. And, the older you are, the more balance becomes important.
- Find a stable surface to lean against
- Raise one foot in front of you
- Do circles with your raised leg
- Clean your teeth at the same time.
- Change legs from time to time
- ADVANCED: See the photo below…the athlete has raised her left heel up off the floor – still while doing circles with her right foot, and cleaning her teeth.
