I’ve been putting a lot of balance exercises in workouts for my clients lately. Practice is key to balance, so here are four ways to squeeze in balance practice in daily life.
1. Brush your teeth on one foot. We brush our teeth every day. We might as well practice balance at the same time since we’re standing there anyway. Having the sink right there to grab makes it a pretty safe place to practice, too.
2. Balance during that time in line at the store. Focus on your favorite tabloid headline and see if you can read it all before you lose your balance. Then do the other foot.
3. Use commercials as time to balance (if you still have commercials in your TV programs. If not, practice while the streaming stuff loads or during the endless scrolling to find something new to watch.). May I suggest single leg deadlifts?
4. Do some core exercises before you get up. A few femur arcs or chest lifts before getting out of bed is a good way to start the day. Maybe not as good as rolling over and going back to sleep, but good. Ambitious people can do pretty princesses, too.
