Balancing exercises can do wonders for people of all ages, and they come with many amazing benefits. Here are three basic moves you should try if you’re looking for a way to be lighter on your feet.
Standing Tree Pose
You’ve probably familiar with this popular yoga pose, but that necessarily mean you know how to do it right. The key is slowly lifting one of your feet up to the side of your calf, keeping balance on your other feet and lifting your arms slowly so you wouldn’t lose composure.
Leg Swings
The name of this exercise makes it pretty clear. If you’re not holding anything for support, keeping your balance can get really tricky. That’s why it’s so important to learn how to keep your torso straight and your other feet stable on the ground.
Single Leg Dead Lift
This move consists of lowering your torso to the ground, while one of your feet is outstretched behind you. It’s a great balancing exercise because you’re required to stand still on one of your feet while keeping your spine straight and reaching with your hands towards the floor.
