Learn to improve your balance through exercise

Balancing exercise (simple)

· Sit on a chair, straighten your back while sitting. Then stand up from the chair without using any support. You can use your legs to balance your weight.

· Every day we have to wait in a line for some or the other reason, so start balancing your body on one foot while standing in a line or you can practice this exercise while at home.

· Place the heel of your right foot directly in front of the toes on your left foot so that your heel and toes almost touch. Use your alternate feet for this exercise

Balancing exercise (intermediate)

· Shift all your weight on one leg and lift the other leg up, stand in the same position for as long as you can and then lower the leg and lift up the other leg by shifting the weight.

· Perform exercises by shifting weights among alternate leg and lifting one leg at a time.

Balancing exercise (advanced)

· Take the support of a chair or table by standing in front of it and lifting one leg up and standing on the toe of another leg. Hold it for a few second and then lower your leg and practice the same exercise with alternate legs

· Hold onto the table with both hands and carefully raise your right knee up to your chest, making sure to keep your waist and hips straight. Hold the position for few seconds and then change the sides of the leg.
